What it covers

This unit helps students develop the knowledge and skills needed to understand the nature of complex crises and problems; to identify opportunities for change; and to develop practical strategies and pathways for action. Students will be introduced to a range of conceptual frameworks used for understanding, analysing and structuring problems and crises. Integrated case studies, scenario-based problem solving exercises, and seminars with practitioners will be used to explore real-world examples where activists have successfully (and unsuccessfully) sought to shake the status-quo.
