PO 627
Policy Research in Action
This community engaged course is structured around a local partnership where students
will have the opportunity to contribute to an applied research project in an area of
Canadian social policy. Students will gain in-depth academic knowledge of a social policy
area (ex. housing, social assistance, neighbourhood development, poverty reduction),
and experiment with applying policy concepts to a pressing social problem. Throughout
the course, we will host visitors from the community, not-for-profit sector, and
governmental bodies. By the end of the course, students will be able to critically
examine policy developments in an area of Canadian social policy, with attention to
questions of inequality and social transformation.
Exclusions: PO691C.
