MSHA530: Humanitarian Diplomacy (Spring 2023, Spring 2024)

(asynchronous on-line graduate course)

This course is designed to provide students with two critical frameworks for accessing and operating in humanitarian crises. On the one hand, it explores official, state-level (Track I) bi- or multi-lateral diplomatic efforts to prevent, mitigate, or resolve humanitarian crises. On the other hand, it explores the unofficial (Track II) and micro-level initiatives of humanitarian negotiations engaged in by non-state actors to obtain access to crisis-affected populations, facilitate dialogue among parties to conflict or rivals for resources, and even broker truces, peace agreements, or other arrangements with the potential to reduce human suffering in Complex Humanitarian Emergencies.

Comments from Student Evaluations

“WOW! The instructor's approach, feedback, attitude all came together in a great fit for the content and course. The timeliness of grading and feedback was a balance between guiding me to improve how I communicated my message through the assignment and holding me accountable to meet the criteria set forth in the assignment. The directions and the chosen activities were well-suited for the readings and my ability to grasp the content.” (Spring 2024)
