ANTH 4187 - Humanitarian Aid & Development

3 credits

This course looks at human society as related to so-called ‘development’ and humanitarian aid in the broader context of globalization. Social scientists focus on the local level processes and experiences, and work to situate those in the larger, macro-level, settings. This class will address important themes: (1) cross-cultural and historical perspectives on global relationships; (2) humanitarian aid through political and economic lenses; and (3) community-based approaches to development. (As Needed)
