DS Coursework

It is widely recognized today that the issues related to development transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries, and that there is no longer a development orthodoxy that posits a single answer to particular problems. Development Studies at Brown is a unique interdisciplinary concentration that prepares students to engage with the issues and problems of development by providing the critical intellectual tools for further academic work or for careers as practitioners. Students are exposed to interdisciplinary perspectives and multiple points of view, and when possible, to perspectives originating in the Global South. Concentrators design their own programs within a common framework. In doing so, they are encouraged to combine analytical courses with courses that offer local and historical knowledge. The concentration culminates with a senior-year thesis that allows students to integrate primary research and intellectual reflection, and to cultivate a depth of knowledge in a particular issue and/or region of the world. A well-rounded program of ten courses should consist of the following elements, which in addition to the required senior thesis seminar, seeks to provide a solid foundation in development:

1. Core courses

  • DEVL 1000 Sophomore seminar in Development Studies. This course, with variable content according to different instructors, introduces the main debates and perspectives in Development Studies.
  • ECON 0510 Development and the International Economy.
    • A course designed for students who do not plan to concentrate in economics but seek a basic understanding of the economics of lesser developed countries and interactions with the world economy, including trade, international capital flows, aid and migration. Students should have taken ECON 0110, or the AP exams or IB in economics, prior to taking this course. Students planning to take additional economics courses are encouraged to take ECON 1510 or ECON 1560 instead of ECON 0510.

2. Two Disciplinary Core Courses that deal explicitly with the theory and study of development within those disciplines
  • In order to develop some fluency in the issues and theories that animate the debate on development, students are to take at least two courses that provide overviews of various dimensions of development. We recommend that students take at least two more advanced classes within the disciplines. POLS 1240: Politics, Markets, and States in Developing Countries, and POLS 1460: International Political Economy provide broad perspectives on the political economy of development. SOC 1620: Globalization and Social Conflict examines the impact that global economic integration has on the developing world. ANTH 1320: Anthropology and International Development critically examines development policy and its impact on the local level. In economics, ECON 1510: Economic Development explores a range of substantive and policy debates in development. ECON 1560: Economic Growth covers a similar range of topics from a more macroeconomic perspective.
3. Analytical and methodological courses that present social science perspectives on general issues that are related to development, including courses that provide specific research tools for the senior thesis
  • The ideal course for this is DEVL 1500: Methods in Development Research. Courses in anthropology, political science, and sociology, for example, provide methodologies and theories for the institutional or cultural analysis of social change; courses in economics provide rational choice and quantitative perspectives. Students are encouraged to take a few courses of this nature from different departments, but also to follow a sequence of courses within a given discipline to ensure a solid understanding of that particular field. Students considering quantitative analysis of data in their senior thesis should consider obtaining training in statistics or econometrics, and can count such a course in this category.
4. At least one advanced seminar course related to Development
  • These courses can address a wide range of issues—education, public health, nutrition, the environment, women’s issues, international finance—and are offered by many different departments. Ideally, the focus of the course should be on the developing world; however, if the course focus is not on the developing world, DS students are encouraged to write course papers that make the link with development.
5. Elective Courses, including courses focused on developing regions
  • Four additional courses fill out the DS concentration, and should reflect the student’s interests in specific topics and areas. At least TWO courses need to focus specifically on regions in the developing world. Such courses can be found in both the social sciences and the humanities (History, English, Comparative Literature, Political Science, Sociology and area studies departments). These courses should ideally address issues that have a direct impact on processes of development. Courses that are far removed from the study of development can be counted only if students write papers that relate to development (for example: a course such as “Hindu philosophy” is very far removed from the DS concentration; however, if one writes a paper on how elements of Hinduism inspired social change movements in India, the course becomes very relevant).
6. Thesis - All concentrators in Development Studies must write a senior thesis or develop a project.
  • Students may choose to enroll in DEVL 1990: Independent Study in Thesis Writing (with their primary advisor as their instructor) while working on their thesis.
Study Abroad and Foreign Languages - All concentrators are encouraged to spend a semester studying in the developing world and to study a developing world language (though language courses do not count towards the concentration). Students must follow proper university procedures to receive credit for courses taken abroad.

Pre-Approved Courses

This list is updated every year but may contain oversights as well as courses not currently offered. Students may take other courses, with the permission of the DS Program Director or Main Advisor. Qualified students may substitute appropriate graduate seminars or individual reading and research projects for one or more of the above courses with the approval of the Director. DEVL 1990 do not count towards fulfilling the DS course requirement. Language courses—while strongly recommended—cannot be counted towards fulfilling DS requirements.

DEVL 1980: THESIS WRITING SEMINAR

In addition to the ten courses, all concentrators are required to take DEVL 1980. This course, which is offered only in the fall, provides a forum in which students develop and test the conceptual design, the theoretical framework and the methodology of their proposed senior theses. Most students take this course in their Senior year, but under special circumstances it can be taken in the Junior year.

Senior Thesis

All Development Studies concentrators are required to write a senior thesis. The thesis is the intellectual highlight of the Development Studies program. Students may choose any topic that fits within the general framework of development studies research. In developing, researching, and writing the thesis, students work closely with two faculty advisors. The first advisor should be a regular Brown faculty member, while the second advisor may (with the approval of the Program Advisor) be a Ph.D. candidate, a Watson Institute visitor, or a faculty member at another university or college. The thesis should be an original piece of research that addresses a substantive or theoretical problem in development. The research can involve the collection of primary data (gathered directly by the student from individual or institutional sources) or secondary data (based on existing research) or both. Whenever possible, students are encouraged to use data collected from fieldwork. In analyzing their data students can draw from any of the established methodologies in the social sciences (for example, ethnographic, statistical, comparative or historical).

The thesis must be finished by the time indicated on the first page of this booklet. Drafts of the thesis should be submitted sufficiently in advance to allow advisors to provide feedback and for students to make final edits. The length of the thesis may vary substantially depending on the topic, but most DS theses are between 60 and 120 pages in length.

Choosing a Thesis Advisor

Choose a primary thesis advisor as soon as possible. The advisor must be a faculty member who will be in residence throughout the student's senior year. You must be proactive in your search for an advisor: possible advisors will not come to you, you must go to them. You should approach any faculty member who you believe to be interested in your thesis topic. Your final choice of advisor and their willingness to advise you will be the result of many factors, but there are at least three possible foundations on which a good working relationship may be built:

  • 1. A faculty member you find interesting and stimulating, and someone you are confident will engage your work and your ideas.
  • 2. A faculty member who has theoretical or methodological interests and expertise in areas that will be useful to your research topic. Such a person might actually know very little about the specific topic you are researching (e.g., access to agricultural land in Bihar, India) but may know a lot about a body of theory (gender and household dynamics) that is essential to your ability to develop the appropriate analytical framework for your research, or may have skills in a technique (statistics, ethnography) that will help you develop the appropriate investigative tools.
  • 3. A faculty member who has either expertise in the area you are investigating (knowledge of the issue or region) or is conducting similar research.

It is strongly recommended that students identify and speak with their thesis advisors by the end of their Junior year, in part because faculty may be unable to accept additional advisees once committed to others. By early in your Senior year, you should also have reached an understanding with a second advisor.

Future Directions

During the 2005-06 academic year, senior leaders of the concentration's DUG wrote a report calling for the creation of new courses and other improvements in the concentration. A series of faculty meetings followed, resulting in a plan to eventually change requirements to include:

  • A new sophomore seminar, DEVL 1000, introducing basic social scientific ideas on development.
  • A new course on the economics of development, ECON 0510, for which a single pre-requisite, ECON 0510, suffices.
    • (Those planning to take more economics courses will be encouraged to take ECON 1510 or 1560 instead of ECON 0510; any of the three courses will meet the requirement.)
  • A course on qualitative and/or quantitative research methods, to be chosen from among courses offered by relevant departments.

DEVL 2000 and ECON 0510 are to be launched in 2006-07. However, due to lack of certainty that there will be sufficient resources to offer these courses on a regular basis, the old concentration requirements remain in place until further notice. If and when the new requirements are implemented, existing course requirements will still hold except that a total of two region-specific courses only will be required. A current sophomore or junior wishing to fulfill the future rather than current requirements may do so with the agreement of the Advisor.
