Course contents :  
Students will present their work on an issue that development organizations are confronted with in the field. In the beginning, students will be given a list of themes and guidance on how to get to work. Then, while preparing their work in the library, they will attend a series of classes on the relationship between anthropology and development. At the end of this introduction, students will take turns presenting their work via oral presentations to the seminar.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
The objective of the course is to give students tools to critically analyze development policies.
