Introducing global development: This course will introduce you to ideas of global development and the interconnectedness of the world when it comes to understanding the most pressing social, economic, political, and environmental issues of our time. It will highlight the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and outline key global development issues such as migration, socio-economic security, technological innovation and environmental sustainability. You’ll be introduced to a conceptual framework called PASH (power, agency, scale and history) that will help you to make sense of these issues and consider how we might better respond to them.
Introducing key global development challenges: This free course introduces four key ‘challenges’ as a spur to thinking critically and creatively about responding to development issues on a global scale. You will identify how the four challenges of conflict, governance, justice, and transformation cut-across all areas of global development and call attention to fundamental principles and concerns such as peace, equality and making ‘good change’ happen.
