MALS 729 - Leadership/Comm/Change

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

MALS - Master Arts Lib Studies

Description:

The core of leadership is the ability to understand one's context in a changing world and to act purposefully to make a positive difference. In this course, students explore community as a primary cultural, social, political, and economic context, albeit a dynamic one. As such, leading in and for community inevitably compels one to reconcile and balance multiple tensions, e.g., the individual vs. common good, pragmatism vs. idealism, local community vs. the larger society. Questions addressed in this course include: What is community, and what kinds of leadership are necessary for healthy communities? How can communities succeed in adapting to global forces of change? What role can businesses and government play in sustaining community? And, what can one person do to make a difference?
