The Atlantic magazine has published an interesting article: “Building Social Change From the Bottom Up.” The subtitle reads, “In an era of polarization and distrust, these local innovators—from a team of urban planners to a kids’ baseball coach—show that individuals can still better their communities.” Their stories are inspiring!

I've much interest in "Social Science", and also "Building Social Change From the Bottom Up" topic is very much close to my work experiences in 30 yrs. I love to take part in building the peace, and respect through our daily social environment. I was a U.S State's scholar in 2008-09 for 15 months. I would like to be a volunteer to share my view and experiences. I wish to have chance to meet the Professor, Dr Walt Jacobs, if possible.

Thanks for the note! I am not directly involved in community social change efforts, but several faculty in the Department of Sociology and Interdisciplinary Social Sciences are. Email Department Chair Carlos E. Garcia for more information. Here is his webpage: http://www.sjsu.edu/people/carlos.e.garcia/index.html
