Handbook - Policy, Advocacy and Activism in the Digital Age

There is a more recent version of this academic item available.

Overview

This course introduces you to theories and concepts of the relationship between civil society advocacy, policy and state institutions, and social change in the digital age, blending class-room, online, and experiential learning and teaching activities. You will work in groups to design and prototype an online advocacy campaign on a policy issue of your choice. The increasing importance of digital advocacy and activism for policy change, and the opportunity for higher order cognitive engagement - beyond desk based research and analysis – that technology now offers makes this course a timely contribution to the professional development of those working in policy and advocacy as well as informing those in related areas as to its role in policy change.
