SOCL13032 - Facilitating Social Change

General Information

Unit Synopsis

This unit offers students opportunity to explore the processes of social change at the individual and group level. Students will be asked to explore and reflect on their individual capacity to facilitate social change processes. Various theoretical perspectives that have contributed to the sociological understanding of social change leadership are examined, as are aspects of individual empowerment and group facilitation and organisation. The relationship between the values of the agents of social change and the social change process provides a further element of inquiry. The unit forms a natural complement to SOCL19061, 'Movements, Cults and Social Change'.
