INTS 81.01 The Challenges of Global Poverty

The course addresses the economic, social, cultural, environmental and political dimensions of the global commitment to eliminate extreme poverty by 2035, in line with the recent adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals and the pledges by world leaders.  The course identifies the key characteristics of poverty, the global trends, and the changing emphases of sustainable development policy and practice since the 1960s.  The course addresses the differing roles of development actors, including governments, civil society, international donors, and the private sector; the importance of engaging marginalized populations; specific efforts in key sectors such as food security, health, education and infrastructure; the role of advanced technologies; the interplay between poverty and conflict; and the impact of global climate change.  Real-world case studies are incorporated fully into the instruction.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
