Institutional Learning Outcomes: Social Responsibility Students focus on how we are living in an age of insecurity. Students consider how political violence, resource depletion, and economic instability are only a few of the countless challenges facing the planet in the post-Cold War era. In this course, students ask how societies can work together to challenge contemporary issues and improve the lives of the billions of people living in poverty. Students explore the concept of human security within a Canadian context, which seeks to bridge international politics and development studies while evaluating ethical principles to decision-making by considering social, economic, and ecological side effects of everyday action. Students engaged with interdisciplinary theories to understand the history, scope, and controversy of `doing development' in post-conflict societies. Students gain expert knowledge of how humanitarianism impacts communities by how it can assure or sometimes upset human security and well-being. Prerequisite: 45 credits complete in any discipline with at least 6 credits complete in POLI courses
