Course Code: STC311

This graduate-level course examines social change through historical analysis in dialogue with a coherent framework for action. Students investigate dimensions of transformation through principles including humanity's collective maturity, universal participation, and coherence between material and spiritual prosperity. Emphasis is placed on articulating that social change is a long-term, collective learning process requiring systematic approaches rather than isolated actions. Students explore how effective changemakers embody social change by aligning vision, strategies, and actions with an evolving, coherent framework. Through analysis of and involvement in nonviolent, grassroots movements, students learn to apply these principles to local efforts to engage in public discourse.
