I found the course to be insightful. It discussed the 5 Ps of Power-which was a new concept for me. I also learned about basic leadership principles and the mobility of structures via the Black Lives Matter movement. I learned how housing influenced power in the UK and I also learned that your body and how it is treated yields power. There was discussion of critical race theory as well. I found the course to be of interest in references to World Powers, Politics, Policing, and the law.
