The Clark Experience in action
Problems of Practice courses
Problems of Practice courses offer opportunities to pursue the solution to a specific problem, address a community need, or organize a cultural event.
Students work collaboratively with faculty, alumni, and experts at local and global organizations.
Students in the class, the National Imagination explore how language forms national identities and how cultural production—such as film, digital products, and literature—represents and, at times, questions national identity.
Students in the PoP course, Designing Just Cities, taught by Geography Professor Asha Best, discuss solutions to urban challenges such as eviction, houselessness, lack of vital infrastructure, and the realities of climate change.
