This course will take you outside the world you know and grew up in and try to answer questions like: What does it mean to be “poor”? What is live like when living under a dollar per day? Can we – and should we- end poverty? Where is the best place to intervene and how can we know what really works? Who gets to have a say in what development means - poor or rich people? The course will look at poverty and human development from mostly a micro-economic perspective, but also introduce alternative and more critical views on development from other disciplines such as anthropology, sociology and political science.
