SUST 652 - Innovation Social & Econ Well-Being

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

How can we best facilitate systemic change toward economic and social well-Being in our self, organizations, and communities? In this course, students consider the challenges to this type of change presented by global trends and by traditional socioeconomic and public policy models. Together, students will explore alternative economic models aimed at meeting these challenges: ecological economics, sustainable development, social innovation, participatory democracy, and transforming capitalism. Students discuss how deeper knowledge of human perception and behavior can help us formulate transformative communication and education strategies and practices. Key concepts include: social capital; corporate social responsibility; social entrepreneurship; social equity; sustainable design; wellbeing; and adaptive leadership. Students continue to develop their social innovation project.
