This concentration is designed for students who wish to develop a professional or academic interest in the global challenges of development, inequality, and poverty. The concentration focuses on concepts, measurement tools, and policy alternatives. The course offerings, the research of associated faculty, and the work of students reflect a number of core motivations. We share a commitment to development as a process that is fundamentally about improving human well-being and securing greater social justice. We believe that the challenges of economic growth, social development, political freedoms, cultural diversity, and security are interrelated and that the analysis of development requires an interdisciplinary approach. Courses address issues such as economic globalization, human rights and development ethics, gender, sustainability, human security, and social policy.
