GS 325 - Geography of International Development


When we think of “development” often we think of idealized notions like progress or quality of life. In this class, we examine what international development looks like on the ground and how it is experienced differentially across space, gender, race, and class. We explore the inequalities that have resulted from economic globalization and development frameworks, and think critically about past, present, and proposed development interventions, as well as various ways that resistance to dominant development regimes has emerged in different socio-economic and political contexts.
