An online course on the human right to adequate food will be offered March 9 - May 29, 2009 by Professor George Kent of the University of Hawai'i. Its premise is that solving the problem of widespread malnutrition is not simply a matter of correcting deficiencies among those who are hungry. Ending hunger requires respect for human rights, and it may require reconfiguration of the social order, locally, nationally, and globally. The course will be conducted entirely online through Transcend Peace University. The basic cost is 225 Euro for residents of non-OECD states and 450 Euro for residents of OECD states. The syllabus and details regarding registration may be obtained through http://www.transcend.org/tpu/ Applications will be accepted until 25 February 2009.
