Health and Human Rights

2.5 Credit Hours

This course, open to Law, Kellogg and Public Health students explores whether there is a human right to health, and if so, what that entails. The course also engages students, working in inter-disciplinary teams, in the Northwestern Access to Health Project, a global, community-based partnership. This year, the Access to Health Project will partner with NGOs Elman Peace and the Near East Foundations on initiatives at the intersection of climate change, human rights, and development in communities in Somalia and Mali. This course meets on the Quarter Calendar.
