| | This experiential-learning course is oriented toward learning and applying skills to help students better understand a policy problem at a community level. While we frequently describe problems at a national level, people experience problems and interventions are implemented in their local context, which has a mix of policy makers, NGOs, stakeholders, and history. The conundrum for policy-makers is that evidence of problems, interventions, and solutions are frequently too general and not precise enough to follow in a specific locality. The gap between national-level understanding and specific and contextualized experience creates a host of policy challenges. The class will take us out of the traditional classroom and into the community. The spring 2023 class will focus broadly on issues related to housing within the Charlottesville community. |
