This introductory course will explore various relationships between education and conflict—education in conflict zones, propaganda, military training, nationalist curricula, etc.— through a series of case studies of real-world examples as well as policy and theoretical literature on these topics. We will critically analyze the external and internal factors that impact the relationship between education and conflict, including resource scarcity and climate change, economic disparities, and political instability and extremism. The course will provide students with a working knowledge of the field of global education and the relationship between education policy and lived experiences in global contexts. By the end of the course, students will have gained a broad theoretical and practical understanding of education and conflict in Africa (Nigeria, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Sudan), the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Palestine), and China, England, and Australia. No prerequisites are required. | ||||||||

Nonprofit organizations in the United States play a critical intermediary role between government and citizens. They implement significant portions of social policy, they educate policy makers, and they execute government contracts, stepping into a role otherwise reserved for civil servants. This class partners with the Adiuvans Foundation (http://www.adiuvans.org/) to study issues of food insecurity and food justice in the local community, assess the work of nonprofits in this space, and award $100,000 in grants to support efforts to improve food security and justice. **This class will directly investigate policies and the selective implementation of policy that disproportionately impacts people of color. We will investigate what anti-racist policy would look like in form and in practice with respect to food insecurity, food justice, and our social welfare system. | ||||||||

Fall 2021 20413 | 002 | Lecture (3 Units) | Open | 14 / 20 | Daniel Reifsnyder | We 2:00pm - 4:30pm | ||
Global climate change and our societal response are one of the most urgent but contentious debates of our time. The Biden Administration and progressive members of Congress call for zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, while former President Trump withdrew from the Paris Agreement and sought to roll back every discoverable climate milestone of the Obama-era. In a single semester, this course will cover the most salient aspects of the crisis, from the science of climate change, to national and international scientific assessment, to the continuing campaign of climate denial. It will consider the benefits of mitigating versus adapting to climate change, and why adaptation is so crucial to developing countries. The course will assess the three major international efforts taken to date, including the 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, and the 2015 Paris Agreement. In particular, it will weigh the competing goals of effectiveness versus broad national participation. It will highlight the role of the major financing mechanisms, including Global Environment Facility, the Green Climate Fund, as well as emissions trading schemes and offset mechanisms, and explain why finance has been so central to international negotiations. The course will weigh China’s role and the importance of the U.S.-China relationship in providing global leadership. Finally, the course will delve into the issues of ethics and environmental justice and look at the roles of Congress, the States, cities and the private sector. The course is taught by a former senior U.S. State Department negotiator who played a pivotal role in negotiating the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol, and who co-chaired the final year of negotiations among 197 parties leading to the Paris Agreement in December 2015. | ||||||||

Using practical real-time assignments, historical and critical analysis and case studies; the foundations, dilemmas, and operational realities of providing humanitarian aid will be explored.

What does it mean to prioritize equity in policy? Equity must be operationalized and incorporated into all stages of policy -- agenda setting, design, implementation, and evaluation. We will consider frameworks and tools for centering equity in policy design, including work to engage disadvantaged communities; evaluate the degree to which current policies across a range of domains promote equity, examining policy histories and differential impacts; and surface the apparent tradeoffs in elevating equity relative to other policy analytic concerns, and how these have been addressed. | ||||||||
