SOCSCI 700 / The Use and Impacts of Social Science Research

3 unit(s)

In this collaboratively taught course, students will develop theoretical knowledge related to the pathways and contexts of social science research use and impacts beyond the academy, and will also develop the critical frameworks through (and against) which to analyze such theories. Students will apply their knowledge and theoretical frameworks to the development of a user-focused knowledge mobilization product or research output. Students will participate in seminar discussions (facilitated by the relevant subject expert), will facilitate discussion, and will share their work and contribute to others’ in project-development workshops. Each module will comprise a balance of each of these modes.
