Global Aid and Humanitarianism

Catalog description

Critical examination of intervention claims to "do good" through governmental, nongovernmental and volunteer efforts in global aid and humanitarianism. Explores ethical and practical dilemmas in solving internationally identified social problems, such as child soldiers, sex trafficking and global hunger. Examines how aid and humanitarian systems can be part of the problem rather than the solution, and tensions between rights-based approaches and cultural humility. Addresses cross-cultural and power dynamics of professional and volunteer work.
