| Unit Description |
This unit examines indigenous and ethnic minority communities in comparable countries in the region and their struggles against powerful groups and interests to achieve equality and autonomy. Community voices are considered to provide students with an understanding of local experiences and aspirations for change. Students will study how existing bodies (such as the United Nations and NGOs) can be mobilised to support community initiatives and processes. There is an emphasis on problem-solving and information analysis. |
