Summer 2013: Leading Social Change in BC - Innovation and Transformational Leadership
10 credits (DIAL 390W, 391W)
This course will explore the concepts of leadership, dialogue-archive, action and social change through the lens of British Columbia. We will embark on a 7 week journey of dialogue-archive and inquiry into the past, present and future of social change leadership in British Columbia.
Thought leaders for the course will include individuals and organizations from across the region that are changemakers, innovators and leaders of social change. We will also engage with guests who inspire innovation through a range of creative processes.
What is social change? How does it happen? Where does social change begin – at the level of the individual or the community or both? What can we learn from the leadership of decision makers in British Columbia? What leaders and decisions have shaped the province as we know it today? What does the future of BC look like?
