GH 705
Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
The goal of this course is for the student to gain in her own ability to ask and attempt to answer foundational questions about the basis and content of our felt obligations toward one another, their possible limits, and to gain confidence in critiquing popular (conventional) forms of discourse/practice in the evolving arena of global health ethics. We will do so through the interrogation of practical issues such as considerations for conducting ethically-sound global health research and the ethics of resource allocation. The course is intentionally designed to be discussion driven by students with instructor facilitation. To that end, doing each required reading and seriously thinking through the issues before class is essential if the student seeks to benefit from enrolling in this course.
