Discussion: Alignment and Social Change
In the context of research, alignment and social change will be important topics to return to as you prepare for the next courses in the research sequence and continue your development as a scholar-practitioner.

Then, reflecting on the course content, discuss the extent to which your newly acquired research knowledge and skills can support your role as an agent of positive social change. Be specific and provide an example(s).

Scholarly Change
A Curriculum Designed to Foster the Application of Knowledge to Positive Social Change
A core commitment that Walden makes as we develop and improve our curriculum is ensuring that our students can apply new skills, expand their networks, gain deeper knowledge, and consider a variety of perspectives in order to better address practical problems at an individual level as well as within their organizations, communities, and society at large.
Working collaboratively, college leadership, faculty members, and curricula developers continually evaluate Walden’s programs to assess the effectiveness of our curriculum in helping our students effect positive social change. In our annual Review of Social Change at Walden University (summary), we document some of the more important changes to our curriculum that support social change initiatives.
Other Resources That Help Inform Perspectives on Social Change
Through ScholarWorks, Walden makes the scholarly and creative output of the Walden University community publicly available, in order to generate, conserve, and transform knowledge by making connections among and between ideas to improve human and social conditions.

The Journal of Social Change, sponsored by Walden University, welcomes manuscripts from the Walden community and the public that focus on interdisciplinary research in social change that seeks to improve the human condition and moves people, groups, organizations, cultures, and society toward a more positive future.
Walden commissioned the Social Change Impact Report to discover the current state of social change around the world, assess the impact of social change, and learn more about the individuals who are creating and applying ideas. The report also identifies individual beliefs about social change, the issues that those surveyed care about, the motivations behind their engagement, the actions they are taking to further social change, and the tools they use. Discover what kind of social change agent you are by taking Walden’s quiz based on this research.
Applied Change
Walden’s annual Global Days of Service is an opportunity for the Walden community to make an impact in neighborhoods around the world and advance the university’s mission of positive social change. Members of the Walden community generously donate their time and expertise to serve their neighbors in need, as they experience firsthand the impact they can make in the lives of others. Students, alumni, faculty, and staff contribute to community projects serving schools, food banks, community centers, and much more.
The annual Scholars of Change video contest allows our students and graduates to share their stories demonstrating how a Walden degree is helping them make a positive difference in their lives and the lives of those in their communities. The winners’ inspirational videos underscore our social change mission and show how the Walden community is helping to advance the greater good.
Designed to expand learning beyond the classroom, Walden’s study abroad and international public service programs allow students to gain a better understanding of their own culture while being immersed in another, resulting in a greater tolerance for difference, better understanding of the role stereotyping plays, and a deepened appreciation for one’s own academic and career goals. Students generally volunteer 20–30 hours on public service trips.
