Wesleyan University Open Course on Coursera
How to Change the World has its origins in the Social GoodSummit held at the 92nd Street Y in New York. The summit brought together some
of the world's most creative entrepreneurs, writers, academics and political
leaders to discuss ways innovative thinking and technology can address pressing
global challenges. Beginning from talks,
panels and conversations from the summit, we will add lectures, on-line
discussion groups, hangouts and readings to explore the issues in politics,
technology and the environment in broader academic and historical contexts. We
will then discover together what actions we can take to make a difference.
