Based on their interests, teams of 3-4 students will be paired with a “client team” within a highly innovative San Diego’s organization focused on social impact. Past client projects completed by our students have included Qualcomm, Classy, SAY San Diego, and San Diego Grantmakers.

This course satisfies the MASI practicum requirement.

In particular, we will explore social innovation and change through the case of socio-economic transformation in post-conflict Rwanda.  We will meet with experts on the region, and visit sites such as government offices, worker co-ops, micro-finance institutions, education related organizations, and social purpose businesses.  We will examine the country’s efforts to leapfrog from an agricultural to information-based economy. The course content covers key concepts in both peace studies and in social innovation.

This course satisfied the MAPJ field-based course requirement and the MASI practicum requirement.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Field-based Practicum: Northern Ireland” tab_id=”1631721850434-fd5c69d7-f005″][vc_column_text]The ongoing challenge of creating a sustainable peace in Northern Ireland has been well-documented and studied over the past 50 years. While the Good Friday peace agreement of 1998 brought about an end to widespread political violence, the challenges facing those working toward making Northern Ireland a more peaceful place remain significant. The fragile status of the peace agreement has been challenged by the emerging and ongoing dynamics associated with Brexit. This course will engage with the people and organizations who’ve been working toward peace and reconciliation since 1965 and the work they’ve inspired. It will engage with the complex realities of attempts to bring about sustainable peace within contexts of a post-industrial economic climate that was shaped by identity politics. It will highlight the pioneering approaches people in Northern Ireland have taken to social innovation, establishing a just and fair society, responding to the challenges of multi-layered, historied distrust and the ongoing challenges of political instability.

This course satisfied the field-based course practicum requirement for MAPJ and MS-CMR.
