CHANGE! A Guide to Teaching Social Action is for faculty, staff, and
students who are interested in developing a college course or co-curricular
experience using social action. Social action occurs when everyday people
band together to develop their power in order to change policy. What
distinguishes a social action class from other social change courses is that
students are actively involved in enacting a policy change of their choice,
thus providing students with a first-hand experience of democracy and
power. As part of the social action class, students can start a new campaign,
keep a campaign going from the previous semester, reactivate a
campaign from a previous year, or join a community campaign.
The goal of this book is to train the next generation of democratic
citizens and participants. The hope is that if teaching social action is
mainstreamed in higher education, students will be able to do democracy
more effectively, and help to preserve it at the same time. More
specifically, the book provides an overview of the history of college
social action, explores what needs to be considered before starting a
social action class, explains how students choose their campaigns and
launch them, and how students plan, implement, and evaluate their
campaigns.
