Description
The activity, "Building Connections: Integrating Core Disciplines in Public Policy Education," organized by Dr. Evren Tok for first-year Master of Public Policy students, aimed to deepen understanding of the interrelated nature of their core courses: PPO 601 Research Methods for Public Policy, PPO 602 Ethics, Law, and Public Policy, PPO 611 Policy Analysis and Design, and PPO 621 Economics for Public Policy. Using the Lego Serious Play (LSP) methodology, students collaboratively built physical models to represent key concepts and applications of each course, emphasizing the integration of ethics, economics, research methods, and policy design. Outcomes included enhanced interdisciplinary comprehension, identification of complementarities between courses, and the central role of ethics in public policy.
