JGU-Harvard Programme On Human Rights In Development

Description

This three-week intensive residential course on human rights in development in collaboration with Harvard University explores critical social and economic issues through the lens of development policies and human rights norms and processes. The first week of the course will explore conceptual issues relating to the meaning of human rights and development, using perspectives from theory and praxis. During the second week, each session will explore critical social and economic issues (including gender, education, health, food and nutrition, water and sanitation, forced migration, housing and disability) through the lens of development policies and human rights norms and processes. The third week will focus on a wide range of modalities of international cooperation at the intersection of human rights and development, as well as questions relating to the global political economy (including the programs of multilateral development agencies and non-state actors, the Sustainable Development Goals, transnational corporations and other business entities, the right to development, international migration and international trade and investment).
