POLS 5640 - Global Humanitarianism
This course draws upon a variety of interdisciplinary materials that examine humanitarianism as an expression of global civil society, a mechanism of global governance, and an instrument of power and politics. This course is organized around a specific set of themes intended to: (1) unsettle prevailing norms of humanitarian practice; (2) disrupt the politics legitimated by various humanitarian appeals; and (3) uncover the multitude of humanitarian sensibilities that shape social interactions across the global North and South. Throughout the semester, we explore the entanglements of humanitarianism in religious faith, aid economies, imperialism, human security, and military intervention across different contexts.
