Social Justice (Development Studies)
Overview
In the field of development studies, students grapple with the challenges of achieving sustainable human development on local, national, and global scales. This concentration brings the unique perspective of anthropology and its methodologies to bear on practical problems and the policies and programs that address them. It introduces students to critical theories of poverty, health, development, and social change and provides students with opportunities for practice-based understanding of development policy and programs. Students undertake a capstone in which they intern at a local or overseas organization relevant to development studies, or complete a research-based, supervised dissertation or independent research project relevant to development studies
