Money and Social Change: Innovative Paradigms and Strategies


CSPL 210
Fall 2016 not offered
This course may be repeated for credit.
Certificates: Civic Engagement
Course Cluster: Service-Learning

How do people make decisions about using their money for social change? Where will it have the most impact? When do shifts in the rules or the use of capital create systemic change and address structural inequities? This course will explore the role of capital in social change. If we rethink how social change happens--analyzing the nonprofit and public sectors, but also new sector-blending approaches and concepts like collective impact--how does our perspective on capital shift? As a part of this unique course, students will work through an active process of selecting a set of nonprofits in and around Middletown to which, as a class, they will actually grant a total of $10,000.
