SOCL 3232 - Community
Taught by Clinical Assistant Professor, Dr. Nathan Sessoms, SOCL 3232, Community, matches students as interns with community-based organizations in South Los Angeles, as they embark on their anti-racist missions. In the course, students learn about historical and contemporary South Los Angeles, while building upon their existing knowledge of social inequalities, urban community dynamics, and the various anti-racist strategies that partnering organizations employ to create more equitable conditions. Students intern with the organizations for 6-8 hours per week for several weeks during the semester. Additionally, students attend a field trip to various locations in South Los Angeles and discuss many of the common challenges associated with providing critical services and resources to community members and community institutions. This course is being taught again in future semesters as SOCL 3230, Applied Community Internships.
