IDS 1000H Development Policy and Power (hybrid)

This course is a bi-weekly, year-long, seminar (0.5 FCE) that will critically explore a range of ideologies, institutions and practices related to development policy making and implementation -- and various forms of contestations to these. The synergies and tensions among development politics, policies, research, and practice will be analyzed using critical development theories (Marxian, Gramscian, anti-oppression, anti-imperialist, feminist, anti-racist, post-colonial, liberation geography, decolonization perspectives etc.) that put power asymmetries and social justice aspirations at their core. Central to this approach will be active engagement with a diversity of critical scholars and epistemologies from the Global South (e.g., Rodó, Dabashi, Said, Fanon, Cesaire, C.L.R. James, Escobar,  Amin, Mbembe, Mamdani, El Sadaawi, Rifaat, Ata Aidoo, Nwapa ect). Seminar participants will be immersed  in thematic discussions around development policies and issues such as: trade and financialization; agriculture and land struggles; environmental protection; health inequity; displacement, immigration and citizenship; aid, taxation, and (illicit) financial flows; race, indigenous, and gender struggles; political economy of knowledge production; governance and the exercise of state power; resistance and popular mobilization; and neoliberal globalization and corporate power writ large. The seminar will be team-taught by Collaborative Specialization faculty members who are deeply engaged with CCDS.

​

This course will be hybrid for the 2024-2025 year and held bion Wednesdays from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm.
