IS 320: Global Poverty & Inequality
4.00 Credits
Arcadia University
Debates that surround poverty and inequality and address impoverished living conditions around the world are some of the most urgent in our time. Some argue that it is a moral outrage that poverty continues to exist and that wealthy countries and individuals should do all that they can to put an end to poverty. Others argue that thus far development efforts created more problems than they have solved. This advanced seminar examines these very different understanding of the causes of poverty and explores different approaches to development efforts around the world. We will explore historical efforts to address poverty as well as contemporary texts that offer new, cutting edge solutions to development challenges. Some sore questions raised are: to what extent is poverty "caused" by historical power imbalances and exploitation or by current factors? To what extent should solutions to poverty emerge from within communities themselves or from wealthy actors? To what extent should poverty alleviation be regarded as as human rights issue or an economic issue?

IS 330: Social Life of War:Polit,Cult&Ident Proc
4.00 Credits
Arcadia University
This course explores war and violent conflict from a socio-cultural perspective. Not only do war and violent conflict result in humanitarian crises at the social level and atrocities and tragedy at the personal level, but they also fundamentally alter people's social worlds, life trajectories, imagined communities and understanding of their position in time and space. As economic and political structures become destabilized or changed, war and violent conflict radically rupture social realities in ways that outlive the original conflict. The course explores the ways in which war and violent conflict reshape social structures, create new cultural processes in reaction to altered reality, and reconstitute identities. Students read and discuss ethnographic accounts that show how war and violent conflict are experienced at the personal, cultural and social level. This course enhances and complicates understandings of what conflict is and what it means for people and social groups who are forced to endure it.
