Art of Social Change: Selected Video Recordings, Spring 2020

Each fall or spring, the Child Advocacy Program (CAP) offers a course at HLS entitled The Art of Social Change: Child Welfare, Education, & Juvenile Justice. Inspired by CAP’s mission of a broad vision of advocacy, the course brings leading child advocates and policy-makers from different disciplines and practice settings into the HLS classroom. After the end of the semester, CAP posts a selection of lecture recordings on our website to widely share the innovative social change strategies that our guest speakers are exploring from both inside and outside of the courtroom. Please note that some portions of particular videos have been edited.
