Social Innovations in International Settings Seminar
Course #: GISD 801
Description:
This course will expose students to international leaders seeking to improve inclusions as well as social and economic development opportunities for all - particularly for vulnerable and diverse populations - through innovations and model development in policy and practice. This will be achieved by inviting these leaders (in person or via videoconference) as guest speakers to the seminars as well as students working on proposals for international entities to help address challenges identified by the NGO. Seminars are aimed at engaging leaders in the fields of disability, health and wellness, education, community and workforce development, international cooperation and development, public policy, administration and other fields. They may be policymakers, practitioners, business leaders, researchers, scholars, community leaders, advocates, public officials or others. Through exposure to their caliber of leaders and their innovative thinking, planning and actions, the seminars intend to provide students with real-life examples of leaders to whom they are encouraged to aspire.
