This course explores the politics, ethics, and dimensions of cultural diversity that are embedded in situations of global humanitarianism-but often ignored, through claims of the supposed 'neutrality' of humanitarian intervention. Humanitarianism claims that all humans have the same right to care and protection, yet in reality human life continues to be unfairly stratified according to race, sexuality, gender, and ability: something that humanitarianism does not automatically solve. In this class, we dig deep into the ways that politics and social position frames humanitarian encounters, and we will particularly focus on the ways that people within groups who receive these interventions-particularly in continental Africa, or in situations of forced migration-themselves perceive and experience them. We go beyond the spectacle of celebrity humanitarianism, and consider instead the historical and cultural specificity of humanitarianism, and the politics of life and death.

Begins with an understanding that gender-based violence is preventable and an elimination of violence would substantially enhance individual and collecEtive well-being. Explore risk factors at the individual, family, community, and societal levels and related approaches to prevention. These approaches span different levels (primary, secondary, and tertiary), target groups (universal, Selective, and indicated), and sectors (education, social services, health care, and criminal justice). Various forms of gender-based violence, such as child abuse, teen dating violence, partner violence, sexual assault, psychological aggression, or human trafficking, can be discussed. Understand the mechanisms of programs, how programs are implemented, barriers to implementation, and how to assess their effectiveness. Further, prevention programs for diverse populations with regard to age, race and ethnicity, sexual identity, and gender identity will be highlighted. Public policies around gender-based violence which shape prevention and intervention efforts will be explored. Understand the theories, historical context, and ethics which guide these programs.
