Webinar: Teaching Social Action: An Introduction – Apr 16

Posted by Bonner Foundation on April 13, 2021

We would like to invite you and your colleagues to attend a 90 minute webinar — Teaching Social Action: An Introduction — for faculty, staff, and students who want to consider developing a course or workshop series on their campus.

This session will be led by Dr. Scott Myers-Lipton, a Sociology professor at San Jose State University, who has taught his social action course in the fall and spring semesters for more than a dozen years. He published CHANGE! A Student Guide to Social Action as a textbook for students that follows his model for teaching social action by having students develop and launch campaigns during the semester the course is taught (or continue a previous semester’s campaign). Currently, he is writing a companion guide for teaching a social action course that Routledge will publish in January, 2022.

Please join us on April 16 at 12 pm EST on Zoom.

• CHANGE! Student Guide to Social Action, preface, Ch 1-2.pdf  (Routledge, 2018).

• CHANGE!, Teaching Guide, Selection, Ch. 1-4.pdf (Routledge, Jan. 2022). Scott has removed a lot of it to keep it brief, but there is enough here to give you a taste of what this social action teaching guide will have to offer when it’s published next year.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email Bobby Hackett (rhackett@bonner.org) or Scott Myers-Lipton (smlipton@gmaill.com).
