AGST Module 1 (Environmental policy & Rural development studies) will hold a series of special lectures titled “Agrarian Change and Peasant Studies” from May 6 to 20, 2016.
This course aims, in the first place, to familiarize students with the historical and current debates about peasant agriculture — both the socio-political and the scholarly ones. Secondly, the course will introduce the basic concepts and methodological approaches needed to analyze and understand peasant agriculture. Thirdly, the course will help students to identify the “hot issues” in current debates about agriculture and food and how to relate this to the peasant question.
