Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

MSCL Masters Community Ldrship

Description:

In this course, students explore community as a primary cultural, social, political, theological/ecclesial and economic context, albeit a dynamic one. Students will examine how organizational and social change happens in their context. Leading in and for the development of a local community inevitably compels one to reconcile and balance multiple tensions, e.g., the individual vs. common good, pragmatism vs. idealism, continuity vs. change, local community vs. the larger society. Questions addressed in this course include: What is community, what is a Christian community, and what kinds of leadersip are needed for healthy communities: How can communities succeed in adapting to global forces of change? What role can religious, nonprofit, and other organizations play in sustaining community? How do Christian values bear upon the formation of community? Additional topics will include international community development, the role of NGOs at local and national levels, and rural community development.
