Great course, would be ideal to update it with current data & some titilating visuals, but overall much appreciated. Well done Wesleyan!
This was a fascinating and thought-provoking course. Could there be a further one?
Makes you think critically about everyones role in changing the world with concrete actions. We should not take things for granted or think that it is someone else's responsibility.
What a meaningful course. It changed my view, showed me that even though it may be small changes that it makes a difference.
