OLLI at Drake Featured Course

How to Save the World 
Join Professor David Skidmore as he discusses the role that transnational advocacy networks (TANs) play in world politics. TANs are political networks of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and activists that focus on specific issues and span two or more countries. TANs seek social change consistent with core principled ideas through coordinated campaigns, such as those aimed at banning landmines, addressing climate change, ending child labor, and ensuring corporate accountability.This is a two-session hybrid class. Students can register to join the class in person or via Zoom. David Skidmore is a professor of political science at Drake University. 

Fridays, October 7, 14 2–3:30 p.m

"The RaySociety (now known as OLLI at Drake) is a community treasure. I love the breadth of classes offered, the amazingly talented instructors who offer their expertise, and the ways it connects me to vital issues and perspectives."
