2016-17 Academic Catalog

This course will facilitate positive, respectful, and reciprocal relationships between Carleton students and people in India. Students will work with community groups that support local visions for an equitable and sustainable society. We will aim to transform ourselves and our place in the world through approaching communities with an informed curiosity, in-depth knowledge about local conditions, and open-minded engagement across various differences. The course will include scholarly readings, instructor and guest lectures, and require student presentations of their work. Students will work together as they engage community groups on topics such as economic development, tourism, gender, sexuality, and political representation.
