PCST 354 - Non-Violent Social Change

(Same as POSC 354, SOC 354.) In a world consumed by religious, ethnic, and social strife, we need to search for nonviolent means of solving human problems. Readings, films, and web materials are used to examine the practice of nonviolent social change and explore failed and successful cases of nonviolent social change in the United States, South Africa, Poland, Argentina, Denmark, Chile, and India. Students engage with community organizations in an effort to make nonviolent change. (Offered every year.) 3 credits
