Subject:

Description:

Offers a community service course supported by a grant from a Northeastern alumnus. The primary objective is to assist students in learning about the causes, consequences, and possible solutions for social conflict in the Boston area. Attention is also given to helping students see beyond their customary social experiences. Students work in teams on projects that deal in some way with social conflict, broadly defined. Reflections occur through team interactions, journal summaries, and focused discussions in weekly seminars. Each student writes an analytic paper that ties in sociological issues; some teams produce sets of papers that combine to produce reports for their host organizations.
