WiSe 14/15: Poverty Governance in the U.S. and the UK

Markus Kienscherf

Comments

In this seminar we will examine efforts to manage poverty in the US and the UK. We will map how public definitions of poverty have developed and how various programs for managing it have been devised and implemented. Above all, we will analyze the socio-political aims of poverty governance. The seminar will be structured by a set of questions: What is the purpose of poverty governance? Does it really aim to end poverty? How has poverty governance developed throughout the history of both countries? What are the differences and similarities between US and UK efforts to manage poverty? What is the role of race and gender in poverty governance? What are the relations between poverty governance and social control in these countries? And, last but least, how do concrete programs aimed at managing poverty impact the lives of marginalized communities? Course requirements: Regular and active participation, presentation and written paper. close
