GEOG 238 - Sustainable Development 3 s.h.


An internationally focused course that explores the processes which generate and perpetuate underdevelopment. While all people, regardless of characteristics or circumstances, have a right to enjoy a free, happy, and healthy life in a safe environment, the world is divided into the “haves” and “have-not.” Students will examine the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of sustainable development in developing countries by focusing on changing patterns of global consumption, production, and distribution of resources. The course investigates and evaluates development theory and proposes measures and strategies to achieve sustainable development in a globalized world. This is a unique opportunity for students to become involved in the pursuit of global connectedness, cross-cultural understanding, worldwide higher living standards, improved health, poverty abatement, and environmental activism.
