Get excited, starting this week we students are taking the reins from Jon. As we explained in class, our group will lead a presentation on Tuesday about our four respective projects and the themes that intersect them. To prepare for this class, please read the following articles linked below. On Thursday, we will divide into two groups and have an interactive roundtable/working discussion based on a set of core questions from Tuesday's presentation.
To Read for Tuesday:
1. Microfinance Empowerment in India
2. Microfinance Article from Our Buddy Woolcock
3. Scaling Up HIV/AIDS Treatment Programs (ERES password: 5693ji). There's a bit of lingo you'll need to know for this article. PWLHA = "People Living with HIV/AIDS" and FBO = "faith-based organization"
4. The Politics of Development in Indigenous Panama
5. Ecological Wealth versus Social Poverty (ERES password: 5693ji)
Peace, Cassidy, Nickhil, Lizzy, Emily
Excellent. Thanks you all, for getting us rolling!
Hey guys,
There's actually another reading that I'd like you to read as well. It is going up on eRes later today, but maybe you could just skim "The Politics of Development in Indigenous Panama" and get a little more into the eRes reading from a book by Robyn Eversole and others called "Indigenous Peoples and Poverty: an International Perspective."
Thanks. Have a great weekend.
