Complex societal issues, like eviction, are difficult to fully understand. Their roots stretch back and their branches reach forward. These are the issues our students face today and will be charged with solving in the future. Through document analysis and close looking at artifacts, participants will explore how empathy, imagination, story-telling, and hard data can serve as tools for designing change.
