Ran in 1 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: not on the schedule. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.

This course will introduce students to the process of researching and responding to social innovation challenges. To facilitate this learning, students will draw from a rich range of social innovation case studies and projects generated by the GreenHouse social incubator over the last decade. They will also draw from the broader secondary literature, to understand how social innovation opportunities are framed and operationalized in response to these challenges. Students will hear directly from GreenHouse alumni who will present on their initiatives. They will also have opportunities to visit and interact with a cohort of GreenHouse students creating their own social impact initiatives.
