Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2512 Opioid-related fatalities are said to represent the deadliest drug crisis in American history. Taught in Philadelphia as part of the Tri-Co Philly Program, this course will draw on academic theories, direct student engagement, and the experience of community partners (including clinicians, activists, politicians, journalists, and people who use drugs) to interrogate causes, consequences, and appropriate responses to addiction and overdose. Students will commit three hours per week to a related community placement. We will critically reflect on students’ own work as volunteers, interrogating issues of privilege, power, and hierarchy; community participation; social service and social change; and burnout and self-care.; Prerequisite(s): Priority in registration will be given to students participating in the Philly Program. Remaining seats are available to other Tri-Co students, by lottery, if demand exceeds remaining spaces in the course.; Enrollment Limit: 15 Social Science, B: Analysis of the Social World (; Hav: SO, B) |
