After pre-departure seminars covering issues related to diverse environment and development challenges facing Thai rural communities, we will depart for a three-week study trip to Thailand, where we will visit and learn about community-based sustainable development projects directly from the communities themselves, as well as from organizations and people supporting community development and conservation. The course dates are: May 4-29, comprised of one week at York and three weeks in Thailand. The course directors are Professor Peter Vandergeest and Professor Robin Roth.
