Giving an introductory overview to critical global health studies by linking past trends to current research and health inequalities, this course examines current trajectories in global public health interventions through a gendered lens, with a solid grounding in the historical context. We will explore social, demographic, political, economic, and ecological determinants of global health, and the ways that these factors interconnect with biomedicine to create and affect health outcomes, both within and across countries. Global Health is a diverse and sometimes contradictory field, with an ever-growing number of multilateral, non-governmental, philanthropic and academic enterprises dedicated to improving the health of the global population. But what does health mean for different people across the globe?
