Development and Social Change in Practice

Three credits · Undergraduate

In this seminar course, students make the link between theoretical discussion of development, social change, and actual practice, both locally and internationally. An in-class component addresses the practicalities of development, social change and social justice interventions and the major issues that affect them, such as: gender/ethnic/class stratification; power relations within and between localities and external agents; and indigenous versus dominant forms of knowledge. Student will then apply this in an experiential learning component in a local or international context. Prerequisites: DEVS 201, 202; or permission of the instructor. Three credits.
