Human Rights and Human Security
It is critical to acknowledge the interconnections between globalisation, human rights and human security to address health inequities. The theory of human rights and the paradigm of human security provide a foundation for understanding global vulnerabilities created by globalization processes. These processes involve global flows of people, goods, knowledge, technologies, and pathogens across geopolitical borders, impacting health disparities within and amongst societies.
Course Format
Policy papers, reports and research studies are used to foster dialogue on human rights and human security concepts, principles, and varying perspectives. Further, through case studies in low-income settings, site visits, as well as discussions with experts, students learn to critically analyse the social, economic and political forces that converge to create health inequities.
