From UC International:
Humanitarianism: Design Thinking Across Disciplines – Spring
quarter seminar with study tour to Tanzania
In this honors seminar, students from across colleges and
disciplines will combine research into humanitarianism, social responsibility
and the principles of design thinking into the development of a project that
will benefit a non-profit organization doing work in impoverished communities
in rural Tanzania.
In spring 2012, we will explore how the fields such as
engineering, nursing, medicine, education, business, liberal arts, design and
more are all critical in the development of effective and inspiring
humanitarian design projects. Together, we will explore the social, cultural
and technological issues inherent in the field of humanitarian design and work
collaboratively to create and implement projects that will have a positive
impact on communities in need. The course culminates in a required trip to
Tanzania immediately following spring quarter 2012.
Application required. Deadline – January 9, 2012. Although this
program is facilitated by University Honors, UC undergraduates who are not in
the UHP are welcome and encouraged to apply, provided the student has a
cumulative university GPA of 3.4 or above (graduate students and alumni not
eligible).
