Subject: Independent Research: Global Health & Humanitarianism (W23 HH GH 4000M 3.0)
Dear Students,
Dr. Godfred Boateng<https://www.uta.edu/academics/faculty/profile?username=boatengg> will be joining the School of Global Health in July 2022. He will be launching a new course on Global Health & Humanitarianism in the winter semester (description and information below).
In this first instance, it is being offered under the auspices of the independent studies course (GH 4000), but it will be subsequently offered as an elective in the School of Global Health regularly from 2023-2024 onwards. As we are using the independent study framework, this course will not show up as an offered course for next year along with the other course offerings. You will have to be enrolled manually by the School’s administrative assistant.
Given many of you will be choosing courses soon for next year, we wanted to tell you about this new course now. If you would like to register your interest, please send an email to the School ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>). We will send you more information and the independent study application form later in the summer to complete enrollment. If you have any questions, please email Dr. A.M. Viens ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).
Independent Research: Global Health & Humanitarianism (W23 HH GH 4000M 3.0)

The course will engage students through a mix of lectures, seminars, case study analysis, reflective papers, and the development of policy briefs.
