INNOV 311Research for Social Impact

This course will build on the theory and skills gained in the prior INNOV courses. It will focus on the first of two initial stages in social innovation development, namely researching, understanding, and defining a particular problem. This will be accomplished by facilitating a deeper engagement with immersive social research and analysis skills, through experiential field visits and team-based active learning class-based exercises. The goal of this course will be to provide a coherent and credible basis to develop a social innovation-based initiative in INNOV 411.
