Description: Master's level lecture course designed to provide an extensive overview of the major initiatives and issues in global health over the past three decades. Anthropological perspectives on and critiques of international health development programs will be emphasized. Readings will focus on examples of anthropology in global public health, and written reactions to these readings, along with two objective exams, will form the basis for course grading. The course constitutes an elective for students in the developing Global Health IC, and will be cross-listed as an upper-division undergraduate course in the Department of Anthropology (LS&A). Although anthropological perspectives will be emphasized no prior anthropological coursework or competencies are expected of students.
