LAX 111 - Introduction to Community Organizing

Credit(s): 3
The course will focus on central theories and practices of organizing; whether an organizer is working in a community-based setting, around a particular issue or set of issues, with a specific constituency, or as part of a broader movement. Students will develop concrete community organizing skills and practices and be introduced to a wide range of organizers who have honed and expanded community leadership throughout the years. The class will explore the connection between periods of concentrated organizing and the better known social movements of the past and present, which often rise up as a result of specific timing and opportunity in the social environment.
