Training Leaders: An Ethnography of Contemporary Global Health - TopicsExpress

Training Leaders: An Ethnography of Contemporary Global Health Education Professor Pierre Minn Department of Anthropology, University of Montreal Anthropology Department colloquium 3:30 pm, Friday, April 4 Sabin Hall G28 (3413 N. Downer Avenue, Univ of Wisc-Milwaukee) Professor Pierre Minn has studied health care services in Haiti since 1997. He has published about medical humanitarianism, health as a human right, the politics of international medical aid, and mental health care after the 2010 earthquake. He received his PhD from McGill University and was a post-doctoral fellow in global health at the University of California-San Francisco Abstract of talk: In the past fifteen years, approximately one hundred global health programs have been created in North American universities. These programs range from undergraduate majors to specializations for medical residents and stand-alone graduate degrees. The rapid and spectacular rise of interventions and training programs that fall under the rubric of global health can be attributed to multiple factors, including the rise in transnational travel and communications, the availability of funds through governments and philanthropic organizations, and the demand by students for global health training, “opportunities” and “experiences.” In an effort to describe the contours and content of this emerging field of intervention and study, this study draws on anthropological fieldwork in a prominent global health graduate training program. After describing use of “cases” in global health curricula and inter-university competitions, I focus on the concept of leadership as it appears in the discourse and practices of global health educators and students. The prominence of leadership in the realm of global health reveals the influence of business and managerial models in contemporary global health training structures and logics, and sheds light on specific aspirational qualities for individuals who intend to intervene in the health sector transnationally.
