Philadelphia, like any major city, faces a host of challenges including gun violence, poverty, substance abuse, gentrification and housing insecurity, and racial discrimination, among others. Individually and collectively, these problems impact all of us in terms of quality of life, safety, mental and physical wellbeing, economic opportunity, and educational attainment. Fortunately, there are many excellent organizations in Philadelphia that are working diligently to address these issues. This course will enable you to learn about what is being done as well as how to contribute to potential solutions. Combining research, dialogue, and creativity, we will examine several of these challenges with an emphasis on problem definition and problem interconnectivity. Working in groups students will examine the scope of the challenge and explore possible solutions. Through dialogue with community activists and practitioners we will share possible approaches to addressing these challenges. Augmenting these dialogues, students will conduct research on what is being done in Philadelphia as well as other cities to combat these problems. Applying creativity to what you learn from the research and dialogues, you will develop a multi-level proposal that includes suggestions for addressing the problem, for how Temple students can get involved in the solution process, and for how the Office of Community Engagement in the College of Liberal Arts can be a resource in this process.
