The premise of the course is a “process of intervening” by a non-governmental organization to promote development, peace building and conflict resolution. The focus of the course will be the steps needed in designing, planning, applying for funding, and implementing of such interventions. The objective of the course is to provide hands-on experience in using methods that increase resiliency, innovation and transformation on the path to sustainability and build capacity and collaboration in a community. The approach will use selected case studies with class discussion centered on the application of both theoretical approaches and comprehensive planning tools.
As this is a 5000-level MA seminar, students are expected to come prepared to engage in
conversation around the readings and topics identified in the syllabus and in class
discussions.
