LEAD 4481 - Leadership and Social Change in Ireland [GP]

(3 cr; A-F only; offered Spring Even Year)

Learn how ordinary individuals and communities can inspire, mobilize, and engage with others to make a difference and to tackle what might appear to be an impossible public problem.

Despite public perception that Northern Ireland has moved forward from the Troubles, more walls have gone up since the peace agreement was signed, and there is still significant segregation between Protestants and Catholics.
