Among the biggest challenges facing the global community today is the eradication of poverty and inequality. This course introduces students to the broad concept of poverty, the causes of poverty and its insidious effects. Intersections between poverty and health, education, urbanisation, trade, welfare, and human rights will be explored in a variety of international contexts, both developed and developing. Policies and global instruments designed to both reduce and measure poverty will be explored at the global, national and community level. Case studies of poverty assessments and poverty reduction projects are a major feature of course content. Consequently, the course aims to promote an understanding of the practical steps that can be taken to promote poverty reduction and socially sensitive development planning. |
