Teaching corner: the prospective case study : a pedagogical innovation for teaching global health ethics.
Abstract
Over the past decade, global health has emerged as one of the fastest growing academic
programs in the United States. Ethics training is cited widely as an essential feature
of U.S. global health programs, but generally it is not deeply integrated into the
global health teaching and training curricula. A discussion about the pedagogy of
teaching global health ethics is long overdue; to date, only a few papers specifically
engage with pedagogy rather than competencies or content. This paper explores the
value of case study pedagogy for a full-semester graduate course in global health
ethics at an American university. I address some of the pedagogical challenges of
teaching global health ethics through my innovative use of case study methodology-the
"prospective case study" (PSC).
