POL 305 Anthropology of International Development
This course introduces undergraduates to the basic theory and practice of international development within an anthropological context. Students will explore an applied, interdisciplinary approach to some of the "big questions" in this field: What does development mean? Why are some countries persistently poorer than others? How have different stakeholders sought to address the challenges of development in the past, and how are they approaching these challenges now? What are the avenues through which students can develop their own careers in the development field? In addition, this course will cover the basic skills necessary to conduct development work in the 21st Century including designing and managing development projects, conducting development research and evaluating the success of projects.
