Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
1. Each student will formulate two to three questions that emerge from, or relate to, the chapters/articles read per session (apart from when they have a group assignment; see next point). The questions can be about clarification, a wish to know more about particular concepts or historical events mentioned in the literature, or all kinds of other questions that emerge from reading the material. The students will bring the questions with them to the sessions. The collection of all the questions over the course of the seminar will count towards 20 points of the final mark.
2. Each student will participate in one group assignment (3 to 5 students) and prepare a session (presentation of the session’s theme, organising group discussion or other activity, etc.). The assignment will count towards 40 points of the final mark.
3. Individually, each student will submit a 5- to 8-page paper at the end of the course. This will count towards 40 points of the final mark.

1. To obtain a critical understanding of the history of Development and the various concepts and debates involved.
2. To better understand how development with a little d – which refers to more general (geopolitical and capitalist) structures and notions of progress and growth – shapes and influences Development.
3. To be able to understand the (historical) relationships between Anthropology and Development.
4. To critically explore tensions between the ‘anthropology of development’ and ‘development anthropology’ and to what extent these tensions can be mitigated.
5. To be able to apply an anthropological perspective (and related theories) to concrete cases and dilemmas.Content:
We will start out with a critical overview of the history of Development and development, and the various debates, concepts and actors involved. We will then explore what an anthropological perspective has to offer. In the second part of the seminar we will apply this (theoretical) knowledge and take a closer look at various development projects in agriculture, nature conservation, microcredit, health, etc.Methodology:
Reading literature, group work, discussions, and individual papers.
