HS 288F — Shifting Development Paradigms

Meets for one-half semester and yields half-course credit.

Introduces students to the history and different paradigms that have dominated and challenged mainstream development institutions and interventions – including the sustainable development paradigm. Students critically review assumptions, implications, advantages and limitations of development approaches. Through this process, students begin to develop their own development theories based on informed review and critical understanding. Usually offered every year.
