Harvard will offer a mini-course to CSW faculty: “Global Perspectives on Population Health,” that will use decision analysis to look at global health issues, and explore a variety of innovative pedagogy taught by Sue Goldie, director of Harvard's Global Health Education and Learning Incubator. The course has been taught to college students and world leaders alike.
The modular course in three parts will provide a broad conceptual foundation for critically thinking about population health in a global context, positioning health as a fundamental prerequisite for building strong societies, and as a social objective that has become critically relevant to economic development, national security, foreign policy, and a human rights agenda.
“We’re very grateful for this opportunity to participate,” said Agnes Voligny, dean of faculty. “CSW is a place that fosters critical thought and deep academic inquiry. This course is an incredible way for faculty to stretch and develop as educators.”
The Global Health Education and Learning Incubator "exists to foster and evaluate new teaching and learning strategies that bridge disciplinary fields, educational spaces, and groups of learners. Its focus is to develop, pilot, evaluate and disseminate creative, effective strategies and tools for teaching and learning across both classrooms and the global landscape."
