PO 352 - Health and Development in East Africa


This service learning course has a two-fold purpose.  First, it will provide students with an overview of the health and development challenges of East Africa, with a focus on HIV/AIDS in rural Tanzania.  Second, it will develop a communication skill set among class participants to present these challenges to the developed world in film, photos, web site production and grant proposals.  Students will also explore the tension between compelling storytelling and political empowerment and advocacy as development tools.

Prerequisites: PO 351 or permission of the instructor.
