Students will be expected to address a contemporary social problem and analyze the range of social policies and policy proposals in order to develop a position paper and presentation. Students will learn how to analyze policy from a values perspective with a focus on social and economic justice. There will be an emphasis on populations-at-risk, including ethnically and culturally diverse populations, the elderly and the physically challenged.
