The aim of this introductory seminar is to provide an overview of global aspects of maternal and child health. To this end, we critically examine structural conditions for health-promoting motherhood and childhood in different social contexts, including paradigms such as life course perspectives, health equity and social determinants of health. In addition to background information and project presentations related to intervention development, we will pay special attention to literature on different facets of maternal and child health, including biographical material and ethnographies.

Course language is English and we will read English texts and watch English film excerpts, but you are always welcome to talk German in class.
