This module introduces different worldviews, belief systems, and ethics as ‘ways of knowing’ and then explores how these ‘ways of knowing’ affect different understandings of, and practices in, global development. This includes topics like environmental ethics, decolonization, and feminism. This allows students to explore similarities and differences in how people make meaning, assign value, and arrange themselves in social and political units. These explorations provide perspective and global self‐awareness that will allow students to navigate developmental agendas meaningfully across differences in a South African and global context.
