This course consists of multiple seminars conducted by invited speakers, some of whom are from social service agencies and/or social enterprises recommended by the Lien Centre for Social Innovation (LCSI) at SMU. This course offers opportunities for students to interact with people from diverse backgrounds and obtain knowledge from multiple organizations. Furthermore, students will also learn and present how researchers have created interventions that shape people’s behavior and address societal issues.
This course is designed to explore knowledge in various disciplines.
The goals for this class are threefold:
1. Absorb knowledge from social issues presented by invited speakers
2. Foster confidence in disseminating information and interacting with speakers during the
knowledge communication process
3. Use the knowledge you acquire in this class to identify critical societal issues and offer
solutions using a multi-disciplinary approach
