In an increasingly interconnected world, global public health stands out as a critical subject in our collective well-being. Most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic served as a monumental test for humanity, pushing the boundaries of state and global healthcare systems, revealing key issues, and leaving behind valuable lessons for the public health community.
This free 10-week online seminar offers an in-depth exploration of the multifaceted realm of global public health, covering essential concepts, historical trends, governance frameworks, and contemporary challenges. Led by professionals in the field, participants will delve into the intricate challenges of addressing health disparities, pandemics, and environmental issues on a global scale.
Presented by the New University in Exile Consortium at The New School for Social Research.
