This contributed volume motivates and educates across fields about
the major challenges in global health and the interdisciplinary
strategies for solving them. Once the purview of public health,
medicine, and nursing, global health is now an interdisciplinary
endeavor that relies on expertise from anthropology to urban
planning, economics to political science, geography to engineering.
Scholars and practitioners in the health sciences are seeking
knowledge from a wider array of fields while, simultaneously,
students across majors have a growing interest in humanitarian
issues and are pursuing knowledge and skills for impacting
well-being across geographic and disciplinary borders. Using a
highly practical approach and illustrative case studies, each
chapter of this edited volume frames a particular problem and
illustrates how interdisciplinary problem-solving can address the
greatest challenges in global health today. In doing so, each
chapter spurs critical and creative thinking about emergent and
future problems. Topics explored among the chapters include:
Transforming health and well-being for refugees and their
communities Governing to deliver safe and affordable water The
global crisis of antimicrobial resistance Low-tech, high-impact
interventions to prevent neonatal mortality Communicating taboo
health subjects Alternative housing delivery for slum upgrades
Transforming Global Health: Interdisciplinary Challenges,
Perspectives, and Strategies is a vital and timely compendium for
any reader invested in improving global health equity. It will find
an audience with researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and
program implementers, as well as undergraduate and graduate
students and faculty in the fields of global health, public health,
and the health sciences.
