LINK TO COURSE SYLLABUS
This course introduces the research subject Rural Development with a focus on the Global South. It covers the basics about origins and evolution of development as a concept, as well as its critiques, and the thematic areas central to contemporary research and debates in the field. The course is suitable for PhD students early in their studies who need orientation in this research field.
Students will have the opportunity to interact with many high profile researchers and lecturers at the Division of Rural Development, SLU. Through a combination of lectures, interactive seminars and group discussions, students will be able to think through and receive feedback from lecturers on how they may apply the themes from the course in developing their own research. The online format allows students from all over the world to join.
The three lecture weeks are full time, otherwise the studies are part time where students read course material and work on assignments.
“The online format was very good, in such a way that it didn't even seem like we were far from each other” – from student evaluation in 2021
