Description
This course asks you to evaluate a number of contemporary debates using knowledge gained throughout the BInST program and overseas exchange year (or equivalent). Particular attention will be paid to the grand challenges facing society and longstanding obstacles to equity that are now impacting issues such as global poverty, aid delivery, development, migration, and good governance. You will explore competing forces and dynamics and the responses to them by governments, institutions and peoples worldwide.
