________________________________
Dr. Godfred Boateng<https://www.uta.edu/academics/faculty/profile?username=boatengg> joined the School of Global Health in July 2022. He has launched 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 Program Secretary.



This course will count as a stream elective for all streams this year only.



Independent Research: Global Health & Humanitarianism (W23 HH GH 4000N 3.0)



Course Description:

Using simple, complex, and wicked problem frameworks, this course aims at assessing the inextricable relationship between global health and humanitarian action, and its implications for health equity. It will examine global health priorities, humanitarianism (past & future), humanitarianism vs. development aid, humanitarian assistance and armed conflict, migration and displaced persons, the right to humanitarian assistance and the responsibility to protect, benefits and limitations of global health partnerships (Red Cross/Crescent, MSF, Save the Children), humanitarian dilemmas-ethics/principles, climate change and humanitarian action, and the decolonization of humanitarian action. The course will engage students through a mix of lectures, seminars, case study analysis, reflective papers, and the development of policy briefs.



Prerequisites:

Students should be within the third or fourth year of study (second year if they are second degree BSc/BA students in global health)

Professor Godfred Boateng<https://www.uta.edu/academics/faculty/profile?username=boatengg>
