PP&D 115: Global Poverty & Inequality in the 21st Century
Poverty is one of the most complex and pressing issues of our time. This course offers an introduction to the study of poverty, inequality, and social justice, both in the US and globally, with the goal of preparing students to think critically about the subject.
The study of poverty and inequality is approached from a multidisciplinary perspective, diving into questions such as “What is poverty? What causes and maintains poverty? How are poverty and inequality alleviated?” and covering topics related to poverty such as education, health, environment, disaster, gender, and technology.
This 4-unit 10-week course is entirely online and available to all UC undergraduates. Enrollment space is limited.
The course will be offered in Spring 2018. Enrollment information and instructions will be posted on this website.
