Social Justice in Action
Spring 2026
Taught By: Molly Kaufman
Section: A

CRN: 16450

Credits: 2

Effective and long haul social change work is enhanced by practices that include cultivating durable relationships, maintaining morale, and naming the moment. Through readings, field trips, guest speakers and experiential learning, students will explore and engage in methods and frameworks that support social justice work and movement building including popular education, inclusive facilitation methods and designing interventions that support world building and the radical imagination. Readings will include Ideas, Arrangements, Effects (I-A-E), a framework developed by the Design Studio for Social Intervention. I-A-E provides a way of understanding complex situations with fresh perspectives so that we can design interventions that move us from being reactive to ongoing crises to becoming proactive builders of the world we want. This course will include the opportunity to design projects and interventions that bring creativity and joy to our social justice work.
