International Development: Novels, Film, and Music
This online course uses a number of non-traditional texts including novels, feature films, and music videos to examine several themes in international development, such as socialist and neoliberal models, gender in development, modernization and globalization, governance, post conflict reconstruction, and the role of a development worker. These themes are not only alive in a classroom setting, but they also impact the real lives of populations from the Global South, who oftentimes record their protest, struggle, and accomplishment in novels, films, and music. Using these works of fiction to study themes in international development gives students a unique perspective into views on development issues from the Global South. Students compare non-traditional texts from the Global South, while analyzing local, national, and international concerns from region to region. The course also uses academic material from international development texts to supplement the works of fiction. Meets with SISU-340 0020L.
