Open only to students in the Honors Program. Human security and humanitarian practice is explored through a historical survey of the development of humanitarian principles. Students will examine the historical roots of humanitarian action, including response to natural and public health disasters, protection of combatants and civilians in the 19th and 20th centuries, the development of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, response to post WWII forced migration, and apply learning lessons to modern-day practice and humanitarian ethics. Application to fields related to humanitarian practice - including emergency management, public health, immigration, social work, military engagement, business and organizational management, and philanthropy - will also be explored.
