Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
The course grade will be based upon the following:
1) Course attendance as per the KSA requirements.
2) Delivery of an oral presentation of 5-10 minutes in which the student can succinctly present their research and demonstrate some initial analysis and viewpoint.
3) Writing of a Seminar paper of 10-15 pages in length (excluding front page, table of contents and bibliography) demonstrating independent research, analysis and presenting the student’s personal viewpoint on their topic.
4) Proof in 2) and 3) that they have independently researched relevant sources for their topic via databases (UN, dedicated research facilities), NGO publications, etc.
Active participation in the course (asking questions, providing critiques, adding to the discussion, etc.)

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The minimum requirements for passing the course are:
1) Minimum course attendance allowable to pass as per the KSA attendance requirements.
2) Delivery of an oral presentation of 5 minutes in which the students can succinctly present their research and demonstrate some initial analysis and viewpoint.
3) Writing of a Seminar paper of 10-page length (excluding front page, table of contents and bibliography) demonstrating independent research, analysis and presenting the student’s personal viewpoint on their course topic.
4) Proof in 2) and 3) that they independently researched some relevant sources for their topic via databases (UN, dedicated research facilities), NGO publications, etc.
5) Some participation in the course (asking questions, providing critiques, adding to the discussion, etc.)In terms of grading weight, the seminar paper will account for approximately 60% of the grade, with the oral presentation 20-30%, attendance and student class contribution 10-20%. Students may improve their overall grade if their oral presentation was weak but if, based on my feedback, they improve their research and analysis and deliver a high-quality seminar paper that demonstrates their deeper research into and engagement with their topic. In such a case I would opt for raising their overall grade to reward their improvement during the course. Active participation can also positively impact their grade if they are on the cusp between two grades.

Frank, Mag. Miriam AnneAs this course will focus primarily on very current or specific topics it will be part of the student’s work to find the literature (often located outside the University Library System) via specific databases (UN, dedicated research facilities) or in NGO or academic publications, etc. for their specific topic. In advance of the course I will be sending links to key resources including but not limited to:The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
The World Bank Policy on Indigenous Peoples
The European Union 'Council Resolution on Indigenous Peoples within the Framework of the Development Cooperation of the Community and Members States'
The Asian Development Bank Policy on Indigenous Peoples
The Inter-American Development Bank’s Policy on Indigenous Peoples
The United Nations Development Programme’s "UNDP and Indigenous Peoples: A Practice Note on Engagement".

This immersive course will provide a thorough overview, and delve into the complex issues, in regards to Development/Cooperation and Indigenous Peoples (IPs). We will examine the meaning of 'development' from the perspective of IPs: What does 'development' mean? What is 'sustainable development'? Who decides what IPs development is to look like? The application of the key principle of 'Free, Prior and Informed Consent' (FPIC) - which gives communities the right to give or withhold its consent to proposed projects impacting them will be highlighted. In examining 'cooperation' we will follow the shift from the top-down approach to a more local, partnership-based approach, today often driven/carried out by IPs. I will provide key examples of the range of failures and successes of development projects. We will examine organizations engaged in development work with IPs and highlight major projects. Students will be provided access to current information. The present state of theoretical and practical discourse will be conveyed. This course will familiarize students with Indigenous Peoples, development cooperation organizations and other key actors such as NGOs/corporations/ governments. This course will consist from my side of lectures, AV materials and animating discussions. The students will contribute independent research, deliver oral presentations, engage in discussions and submit a seminar paper.Course Goals:
This course is to provide a solid introduction to this topic from its historic to present day complexities. It is to engage the students into critical deconstruction of the terms 'development' and 'cooperation' as they apply to IPs. This seminar is designed as a practical, preparatory course, geared towards actual work in the field. Through their independent research and analysis, the students should take away the up-to-date state of discourse and current theories. They should become familiar with on-the-ground issues and the range of actors in this field. By course end, I wish to have instilled a deeper knowledge of this topic and cultivated their analysis of the complex examples. My primary teaching goal is to instill in students an understanding of IPs and their issues and to perhaps inspire some of them to work with or for IPs.Teaching Methods:
This course will be highly interactive. It will have a basic component of instructor lecturing and complementary AV materials. Students will be directed to key publications, websites etc. for their oral presentations and seminar papers. Students have the option of self-selecting or choosing from various topics for their group/individual oral presentations. They will benefit from the range of the issues presented by their peers. Discussions and debates will be highly encouraged. A seminar paper, reflective and inclusive of in-depth research and independent analysis will be required. Besides providing all students with individual feedback I will assist, where possible, in furthering their own interests in regards to this field.
