The course was designed for undergraduates looking to minor in Social Practice. Social practice’s transdisciplinary approach is typically characterized by collaboration across liberal art and art and design disciplines. Rather than being the product of a single artist working within an isolated studio, social practice projects are driven by the desire to connect, to look outside oneself in meaningful and tangible ways, and to positively impact daily life within specific communities—often co-created with people with a variety of life experiences. For this kind of socially-engaged work to be successful, artists, designers, writers, scholars, architects, urban planners, and curators (among others) must develop a unique set of social and material skills.
