In this course you will critically examine themes, debates and practices in international development, building a complex understanding of diverse global realities. In particular you will investigate key development concepts and approaches through a close examination of contemporary themes such as peace, security, localisation, migration, poverty and the Sustainable Development Goals.

You will explore different perspectives on these issues, including global governance; policy and funding; design, implementation and evaluation of projects; and community goals and capacities.

From community practices to the global context, this course takes a practical approach that encourages you to think about your role in these processes and ways to bring about positive change.
