| INTL 0700 - Global Health, Humanitarianism, and Inequality |
|
The term “global health” refers to an aspiration and a set of problems. An aspiration to global health has potential to unite biosecurity, humanitarian, and philanthropic efforts to rid the world of infectious disease, improve sanitation, and address malnutrition. As a set of problems, global health is less unifying than unruly. Deciding when a local epidemic becomes a global emergency or calculating the economic value of healthy childbirth are not straightforward processes. This course takes a multidisciplinary, critical approach to global health. Focus will be on “bottom-up” perspectives—how projects and policies play out in the lives individuals and communities.
