| Content | Africa has always been a site of medical innovation but for too long this has not been acknowledged and studied in the Global North. This blended-learning course learns from Africa and shows what the continent has contributed to Global Health. It offers you a unique Africanist perspective and insights into different disciplines such as public health, urban planning, and history. Learners acquaint themselves with various tools, methodologies and theories and benefit from experts at the Swiss TPH, EPFL, and the History Department. Thereby learners familiarise themselves with innovations that benefit public health not only in Africa but in other parts of the world or globally. We will also delve into the decolonizing global health movement and white saviorism. The five-week Massive Open Online Course (Trailer: https://vimeo.com/609608287) of the project www.globalhealthafrica.ch on FutureLearn (https://www.futurelearn.com/) will be part of this interdisciplinary course. Please only register for the course on FutureLearn after the course has started and the lecturer has asked you to, otherwise you cannot access the material when necessary. |
