課程簡介Course Description

The Sustainable Development Goals launched by the United Nations in 2015 mark a new attempt to manage aid intervention in such a way as to address environmental degradation, poverty, and discrimination across the world and promote long-term health for planetary ecology. On the other hand, civil societies in the global south and the global north respond to and utilize these SDGs to promote their own political, economic, or cultural agendas. This course introduces global disparities in the experience of well-being and development from the perspective of Development Studies and Anthropology. It will look at ways humanities and social sciences engage with debates about the relationship between humans and the more-than-human world and initiatives to adapt to current environmental and social challenges.
