Third World development
studies is a multidisciplinary social science program that
explores the transformation of African, Asian, Latin American
and Middle Eastern societies since the 16th century. The
program offers the student the opportunity to examine within
a comparative framework the processes of social, economic,
political and ideological change in these regions as they
respond to contact with the West and to the wider global
economy and political pressures of the post-war period.
The
minor introduces the participant to the diverse analytical
perspectives of anthropology, economics, history and
political science, while ensuring that the student has
sustained
familiarity with one geographical region. With the exception
of LAS 100, all courses for the minor are at the 200
or 300 level. Entering students might consider
enrolling in introductory courses in the departments
comprising the minor, courses such as ANT 130, ECO 150
and ECO 153,
or some sections of the history colloquia.
Suggested course
for first-semester, first-year students: LAS 100.
