ABSTRACT

CHANGE! A Student Guide to Social Action helps students learn how to bring about the change they believe will improve their community. What distinguishes an experiential social action class from other social change courses is that students are actively involved in enacting a policy change of their choice, providing first-hand experience of democracy and power. Students can choose to start a new campaign, keep a campaign going from a previous semester, or join a community campaign.

This valuable new edition includes updates to the student vctories section, reordering and updating of chapters for better student learning, and updates to all of the portfolio assignments.
