MGT-3240: Social Change and the Nonprofit Sector

Those possessed with a passion to make the world a better place will often envision starting a movement or strengthening or reviving one that already exists. The instrumentality of social change, however, is not only the story of passionate individuals working in association. Throughout American history, nonprofit organizations have played an important role in creating change too, sometimes supporting social movements and at other times solidifying the gains made by them. From the Abolitionist Movement that spawned anti-slavery societies in the nineteenth century to the LGBT organizations that produced recent changes in marriage laws, the synergy between social change movements and nonprofit organizations has been a constant of American history. This course examines these historical dynamics in the interest of equipping present and future leaders of movements and institutions with the knowledge of the forces that can support, grow, or, sadly, diminish their efforts.
