授業は全て英語で行う。受講者は事前に課題文献を読みその内容を理解し、授業での議論に備えること。授業は双方向に行い、講義、事例に基づくグループディスカッション・議論から成る。特に、現代のグローバルヘルス上のテーマに関する解決策の分析、残された課題の解釈と提言を行うことを重視する。 This course will be conducted in English. Students are expected to read the assignment papers prior to each lecture and understand contexts and contents of the topic, case study stories provided, prepare for discussions in class. Classes will be highly interactive and participatory and will apply active learning methods. Each week will focus on a thematic issue and students will be introduced to the topic, analyze the issue in detail, understand different perspectives (of different actors/stakeholders) and review interventions and its effectiveness. This course will be provided in a Hyflex class (students who can attend face to face will attend face-to-face, and those who are physically not in Japan or due to health or other reason can not attend face-to-face are permitted to attend online) and is open for students in Japan and abroad.
