SST 195-03 - Special Topic: Winning Social Movement Campaigns

1 credits (Spring)

Using the groundbreaking legislative victories by domestic workers (2010) and nail salon workers (2015) in New York State, and other contemporary campaigns as examples, the course will look at the nuts and bolts of a successful campaign and its impact on creating a collaborative ecosystem that can help strengthen individual organizations and build a larger movement to implement and sustain campaign victories. Students will have hands-on experience, choosing an issue of their interest and collectively designing a campaign. This course is sponsored by the Wilson Center for Innovation and Leadership.

Prerequisite: None.
