Course Catalog Description:
There is no shortage of difficult issues which young adult Americans are confronting in the twenty-first century. In this seminar, we will learn the tools of policy analysis to become more capable actors within the American political and policy space. The course will not focus just on problems, but also solutions and activism by young adult Americans. We will examine, as a learning community, questions and solutions about topics such as American public education, the roots of and responses to the protests following the tragic events of Ferguson, federalism and medical and recreational marijuana, DACA and American dreamers, sexual violence on college campuses, student debt, and the opioid epidemic.
