Course description: An examination of international health and development in the broader context of globalization. Adopting an anthropological focus on local-level processes and experiences, and situating these in macro-level settings, we examine the historical context of international health disparities and development, consider political economies of health, and review community-based approaches to development. We also explore case studies that allow us to examine the relationships between local communities and macro-level policies and structures. This class exposes students to essential questions about the role of anthropologists in development and health interventions, considering common research strategies and ethical guidelines.
