The methods of the course are based on contemporary critical digital pedagogies that foster critical thinking, policy analysis, social action, public engagement, and advocacy. We will analyze age-relevant social policies from the perspectives of social justice, politics, communication, economics/financing, and the intersectionalities of age, race, ethnicity, ability/disability, and gender as they affect policy discourse.
