This course provides an introduction to public policy design and analysis using "systematic thinking" from the social sciences and humanities, with the application of scientific methods and knowledge more generally. Systematic thinking about how social problems are defined/understood and how policy both creates and can address societal problems is essential to the design and evaluation of public policies.
