Course Information

Description

This is an advanced writing lab exploring the intersections of narrative, structural violence, and global health justice. Students develop publication-ready pieces across narrative, podcast, and advocacy formats through weekly sessions combining interactive lectures with hands-on labs. Using case studies students engage collaborative writing exercises, live role-play scenarios, and crisis simulations. This course integrates frameworks from practitioners and scholars of global health including Paul Farmer, Arthur Kleinman, Salmaan Keshavjee, and Joia Mukherjee to develop storytelling as a tool of resistance, policy critique, and advocacy in global health contexts.
