The objective of the course is understanding the role of colonization and racism in producing continued inequalities in both local and global contexts. The course examines how particular political, economic and social actors and institutions within the development system have been implicated in reproducing various forms of inequalities and also assesses their potential for addressing the causes and consequences of intersecting systems of oppression. Students receive training about how to integrate anti-colonial, anti-racist, and Indigenous perspectives and approaches to pursuing inclusive, equitable and sustainable development.
