The Global Health Studies program combines community health promotion education with examinations of worldwide development and globalization trends. This curriculum emphasizes how community health initiatives intersect with large-scale global disparities, especially poverty, while exploring how health challenges connect to broader power dynamics involving capitalism, resource exploitation, international food systems, and the consequences of racism, sexism, colonialism, worker oppression, and ecological decline on a global scale. Learners enjoy an interdisciplinary approach that merges Health Sciences, Geography, and Sociology with specialized courses from the Centre for Global Studies.
