CLab:India Innovation Studio 2

4 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Each year, this studio-based course examines a different problem facing India. The course is taught through a multidisciplinary lens and operates in partnership with Indian government and civil society stakeholders to design, prototype, and implement a solution on the ground. The course is team-taught in modules and led by Professors Irfan Nooruddin and Mark Giordano. In the fall semester of this studio, students will first academically explore the political, economic, and sociological dimensions of the issue. The spring semester will focus on the development and implementation of potential solutions, which students will design working in close collaboration with experts in the field and government and civil society stakeholders. Selected students will be offered the opportunity to travel to India during the spring. The studio is designed to be a year-long course (Fall, Spring). Students who take both semesters will be given preference for selection and funding for the spring trip to India.
