Ethics in International Development
HESO 449A-001 (3)
Time: Tues 2PM-5PM
Location: BUCH D 315
Coordinator: Andra Dediu
Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Shafik Dharamsi
This seminar will take a practical approach to the ethical issues in international development, with students reflecting on the ethical implications of the implementation methods and the end results of development programs. The first component of the seminar will ask of students to critically analyze the role of government bodies (those of the ‘North’ states and also of the ‘South’ states), organizations and individuals in development – both currently and historically. Secondly, students will work in teams to design their own realistic, yet hypothetical, development projects. They will then be asked to critique the projects of their peers, with feedback from the faculty sponsor and other field experts. Upon completion of this seminar, students will be more familiar regarding the logistics and ethical implications of international development projects.
