Goals of the Course
The international community today faces a variety of challenges, some new, some old. This course suggests that global health offers a new way of thinking about and acting upon international development objectives. At the same time, global health has been critiqued for its lack of organizing concepts and theories. From national health insurance to COVID-19, the health sector has been a critical part of debates about poverty and development. This course is designed to introduce graduate students to foundational themes and historical case studies in global health. It also trains students to engage with and offer solutions to major global health and development issues in contemporary societies.

Objectives of the Course
The first half of the course (Weeks 1-7) focuses on key theoretical debates or paradigms in both policy-making and scholarly/academic circles. It also covers the basic history of international health from the early twentieth century to global health in the present. It ends with an overview of the increasing metric-ization of global health achievements, including a critical look at the Sustainable Development Goals. The first 1000-word data analysis assessment is due at the end of Week 7. With this background, the second half of the course (Weeks 8-15) moves to examine major sector-specific or thematic issues. It looks at voluntary, governmental, and for-profit actors in the health sector, bringing in historical case studies and using primary source materials. The final 5000-word original research essay trains students to bring together concepts and cases from both halves of the course.

成績評価の方法と基準
Course Evaluation Method and Criteria
There are two assessments for this course. First, by the end of Week 7, students will submit a data analysis essay of no more than 1000 words, worth 40% of the final mark. The student, after discussion with the lecturer, will select an appropriate dataset on a topic of their choice relating to global health. Second, students will submit a final 5000-word original research essay worth 60% of the final mark (due at the end of Week 15). Students are encouraged to make the first 1000-word data analysis essay part of the broader final 5000-word research essay. Marking for the data analysis (40%) and the final original research essay (60%) will be based on Nagoya University’s letter grade evaluation system (see ‘Academics/Campus Life’).
