WLC 320 - Global Humanitarianism Examined

Credits: 3
The course examines humanitarian service in global perspective. It assesses both the historical and contemporary records of development aid, religiously motivated efforts, human rights modalities, bi and multilateral aid at the government level, and the latest ventures in sustainable development. The course is designed around case studies, group projects, and grant writing-the foundation of humanitarian efforts. The aim of the course is to make students aware of the pitfalls associated with the record of humanitarian aid, but resolute in their determination to improve the world wisely.

Prerequisite(s): WLC 150, or consent of the department chair.
