Global Health at HarvardX
HarvardX is excited to continue a tradition of engaging with educators and practitioners to address today’s most pressing challenges in global health. After you have completed Lessons from Ebola: Preventing the Next Pandemic, we hope you consider joining us for other upcoming courses:
Readings in Global Health:
A seven-week experience starting January 25, 2016.
In Readings in Global Health, Acting Dean David Hunter of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, guides learners through a series of discussions with leading experts as they engage with current issues and challenges in global health. The backbone of this learning experience is a set of 18 reviews, co-edited by David Hunter and Harvey Fineberg, and the editorial team at The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), where it was initially published.
Global Health Case Studies from a Biosocial Perspective:
An eleven-week experience starting February 23, 2016.
A team of physician-anthropologists, Arthur Kleinman, Paul Farmer, Anne Becker, and Salmaan Keshavjee present an interdisciplinary framework for understanding global health problems in Global Health Case Studies from a Biosocial Perspective. This biosocial analysis goes historically deep and geographically broad to understand global health problems and aims to identify concrete and effective interventions.
