INNOV 300 - Case Studies in Social Innovation for Impact

This course will introduce students to the process of researching and responding to social innovation challenges. To facilitate this learning, students will draw from a rich range of social innovation case studies and projects generated by the GreenHouse social incubator over the last decade. They will also draw from the broader secondary literature, to understand how social innovation opportunities are framed and operationalized in response to these challenges. Students will hear directly from GreenHouse alumni who will present on their initiatives. They will also have opportunities to visit and interact with a cohort of GreenHouse students creating their own social impact initiatives.
