Welcome to the MOOC on Global Health and Humanitarianism. We are delighted to have you with us and hope that the next six weeks will be interesting and thought-provoking for you.
We hope that the course will provide you with an overview of global health and humanitarianism, both theoretically and practically. These fields overlap and are interrelated in various ways. However, we have explored our subjects through three key themes: each key theme will be discussed over two week blocks by specialist course lecturers, and will be supported by unique video perspectives from three keynote speakers who are leading specialists in the field.
