Covering global health and human rights literature, we will examine both best practices and well-intended policies that inadvertently negatively affected target beneficiaries in nations around the world, particularly in low-income regions. This course is recommended for any students who have an interest in working in nonprofit, health, foreign service, international development, human rights, or public policy. (3-0) Y
