P A 388K INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Professor Catherine Weaver (click to view profile)
Classroom SRH 3.212 (second floor)
Any foray into international development must grapple with fundamental questions about how we understand poverty and development and how we know what works or doesn’t work in the practice of global development. We begin the course with a discussion of the ways in which we may define, observe and measure development from multiple perspectives and methodologies. We then proceed to explore the development experiences through the lens of studies which employ different ideologies and methodologies to understands what does and does not work in international development. This section focuses on both macro and micro approaches in development studies as well as a critical look at the role of international development aid. 

Directions:
The LBJ School is in Sid Richardson Hall (SRH), a three-story white building between Red River Street and the large, white marble LBJ Library. The LBJ School is located in the northern half of Sid Richardson Hall. There are entrances at the middle of the school on the parking lot side of the building and on the southern end of the building, which corresponds to a breezeway that connects the parking lot to the plaza surrounding the LBJ Library.
