Social Entrepreneurship
Credit Bearing: Credit-Bearing
Level: Graduate

This course is designed to provide a deep introduction to the challenges facing social entrepreneurs in the quest for a more just, tolerant, healthy, equitable, and educated world. The course starts with the premise that social entrepreneurship is an audacious and important driver for solving the world’s toughest problems. However, social entrepreneurship is not the only tool for creating change. Students will be asked to consider four complimentary tools for change: 1. The social entrepreneurship that produces the new combinations of ideas that often hold great promise for solving public problems, 2. The social stewardship needed for faithful implementation and fine - tuning of new and old ideas alike, 3. The social exploring required for monitoring trend lines and tipping points, as well as for evaluating and improving promising ideas, a nd 4. The social advocacy needed for agitating the status quo and achieving sustainable breakthroughs. Given significant past gains in research on social stewardship, exploring, and advocacy, this course will focus specifically on the nascent knowledge ba se on social entrepreneurship. As students will soon discover, the major problem in pursuing this agenda is the lack of a valid database for comparing successful and less successful interventions.
