IHP cities in the 21st century: people, planning, and politics
Cities in the 21st Century is a comparative study abroad program that examines questions of social justice in different urban contexts across four different countries. It is an interdisciplinary semester which draws on urban political economy, anthropology, sociology, politics, development studies, and planning. Its mission is to provide undergraduate students from leading U.S. colleges and universities with an intensive experiential learning-based exposure to the challenges of urbanization in different parts of the world. Students learn how to "read the city" through formal courses led by traveling faculty, as well as through homestays with local families; guest lectures by in-country academics, local politicians and policy makers; site visits and meetings with NGOs, neighborhood organizations and community activists.
IHP's learning model is grounded in critical inquiry and analysis but attempts to bring those skills to bear on particular places and themes. It also helps students learn how to interact with a variety of local actors representing different and competing visions of the city, and to situate claims-making within the context of unequal access to wealth, resources, infrastructure, and political representation.

IHP human rights: movements, power, and resistance
IHP Human Rights investigates the historical and social contexts of human rights both as a concept and field of practice. The program takes a deliberately broad perspective examining the full spectrum of rights discourse, while placing emphasis on analysis of the root causes that incite human rights struggles in different locales. The program builds off a multi-disciplinary framework of inquiry that ranges from political economy, history, and geography, to post-colonial and feminist scholarship. Key questions the program poses include: How did human rights develop historically as an idea and field of practice? What are the historical dynamics of power that shape local forms of social hierarchy, oppression, and dehumanization at the root of human rights struggles? What are the opportunities and shortcomings of rights discourse and human rights legal practice? How are grassroots movements, civil society organizations, and activists using the concept of human rights as a platform for change and transformation?
