This course examines key issues in international development. International Development involves the search for sustainable and equitable solutions to poverty primarily but not only in the Global South. The causes and consequences of poverty are many and varied: environmental degradation; insufficient food production; inequitable access to land and related resources; poor governance; civil war and other types of conflict. The impacts of poverty manifest differently depending on culture, technology, geo-political factors and globalization.

  • For the most part I enjoyed Simron's lectures. This class is just a continuation/ reiteration of the previous INDEV 100 class. The class is predominately led by different guest speakers that the prof invites each week to discuss different issues in INDEV. Just do the readings and attend lectures regularly to keep up with the reflections and quizzes. I'd recommend this if you're looking for a bird course!

  • For INDEV students it's a great way to get more in depth and relearn areas where INDEV 100 lacked. The use of guest speakers gives valuable insight into the scope of development and how you can use your degree in the future. One of my favourite classes taken so far.

  • Really cool course that focused mostly on sample cases and guest speakers from different backgrounds
