Contemporary Issues in Human Development and Policy (A New Millennium Perspective)
Offered by: Srijit Mishra (January-May 2012)
The course has evolved since 2006 and has emerged from an earlier course on 'themes in human deprivation' offered during 2003. As it stands now, the course will discuss conceptual issues (Sen's Capability and Rawls' justice among others), issues of measurement, governance and participation and other related aspects. The students will have to be involved in a field survey. Evaluation will be based on assignments, classroom participations, review (book/song/painting/movie/any other), field survey and term paper. The review, field survey write-up and term paper have to be presented and discussed as part of the evaluation process. The weights would depend on the emphasis given to each as the course progresses. However, to give an idea, the weights given in 2011 were: Assignments and classroom interactions (15%), Field Survey (25%), Review (20%) and Term Paper including the role as presentation and discussants (40%). Note that the weights may differ in 2012.
As the course progresses, lectures will be uploaded in the author's bepress web page, http://works.bepress.com/srijit_mishra/, and discussions will also take place virtually in the closed group facebook page for the clas.
