Approaches to Poverty and Development in Chile is a multi-disciplinary course combining experiential and service learning with social analysis, and ethical viewpoints. The course is taught in Santiago, Chile at the Jesuit University Alberto Hurtado, which has many graduate and undergraduate academic resources in the social sciences, theology, and new forms of education.
