Oral
Health & Human Rights: Teaching in the Community and the Classroom
The movement linking public health and social justice has increasingly been informed by human rights perspectives. The data and analytic frameworks produced by human rights workers have proven to be invaluable in understanding the determinants of health and premature mortality. However, much less work has been done examining how to systematically integrate this work into university curricula, community-based education and into the process of teaching. The pedagogy session of the Spirit of 1848 has, for the last three years, devoted itself to how activism is engendered through teaching. We wish to continue that discussion, with a focus on human rights. The session will consist of three presentations, followed by a discussant who will reflect on the presentations and discuss common themes and future challenges.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1. Describe diverse approaches to teaching about health & human rights in the classroom. 2. Describe diverse approaches to teaching about health & human rights in the community. 3. Describe different strategies for systematically integrating teaching about health & human rights into university curricula, community-based education and into the process of teaching.
