| PHP 0060 - Complexities and Challenges of Global Health |
|
Global health refers to the health and wellbeing of all of the world’s populations, regardless of geography, country, or citizenship. Many of today’s most pressing issues, from climate change to political conflict and population displacement, have profound implications for health. The current COVID-19 pandemic illustrates the vital role of public health in an increasingly interconnected world. This course will introduce students to fundamental topics in global health, and they will be encouraged to approach global health issues through a lens of equity and responsibility toward people and populations beyond United States’ borders. They will develop a framework for understanding contemporary health challenges and learn how responses to these complex problems require collaboration across health and non-health sectors of society. This course will challenge students’ assumptions about world health while strengthening their skills in data literacy and critical analysis.
