Browse Hierarchy IPH7128: Crises and Global Health

With the intensifying impacts of climate change, newly emerging pathogens, and continual political unrest and conflict, crises have seemingly become the new norm. The impacts of these crises on health are multilayered, complex, and exacerbating existing inequalities. This module engages with these crises and their impacts in a critical, interdisciplinary, intersectional, and applied lens. We begin by reflecting on the notion of crisis and move to applying theories or frameworks to specific case studies in local and global contexts. By exploring strategies for mitigating and adapting to contemporary crises, students will be empowered to reflect, analyse, and act on their learning in a personal and professional capacity.
