Online course designed to prepare students for global social impact work
The Staley School of Leadership Studies is offering Introduction to Global Development, Partnerships, and Social Change, a fully-accredited online course designed to deepen students' thinking in respect to social impact work in international contexts. Through a unique partnership with the nonprofit organization Omprakash Edge, the course will use multimedia content from across the social sciences to help students grapple with the social and ethical complexities of attempting to do "service" across gaps of culture and power. The program encourages participants to think critically about international aid and volunteering, and works to push back against problematic trends in "voluntourism". Through the Omprakash online methodology, students enrolled in the course will be in dialogue with a network of mentors engaged with global community development work. The Staley School faculty member leading the course is Dr. Eric Hartman, who holds a Ph.D. in Public and International Affairs from the University of Pittsburgh, focused on international development. Learn more about this partnership, Omprakash and how you can get started.
