Streams (24 credits)
Stream 3: Culture and Society
The courses in this stream focus on how the social structures, history, and culture of populations affect developmental
processes. Associations, class, gender, religion, race, and ethnicity, for example, all shape development in multiple
and diverse ways. Moreover, present developmental processes oftentimes cannot be adequately understood without
considering history. Culture, in turn, is increasingly recognized within development studies as both a determinant and
a constitutive element of development. In exploring all three, the courses in this stream provide important insight into
the complex and varied relationship between social context and development
