This Master's program critically examines 'people-focused' development, tackling the difficulties in advancing well-being and fair citizenship amid social diversity and globalization, especially in urban environments. Students undertake a rigorous evaluation of social development theories and practices to cultivate their abilities as reflective practitioners in this field. The course delivers comprehensive training in social analysis techniques and viewpoints, grounded in theories concerning identity, inequality, and societal transformation. Participants explore how development initiatives can effectively bolster the citizenship rights of diverse populations in the Global South, while reflecting on the practitioner's role in this process. The program draws students from various academic backgrounds such as sociology, economics, anthropology, international relations, history, media studies, geography, and psychology. It equips them with the critical thinking, analytical, and practical competencies needed for careers in academia or social development practice.
