Tuesday | 05:15 PM | Global Health Interventions: From Design to Causal Impact Prof. Dr. Dr. Till Bärnighausen, Heidelberg Institute of Global Health Prof. Bärnighausen’s research focuses on identifying, designing and testing novel interventions for population health and establishing the causal impact of interventions on population health, social and economic outcomes. In particular, he works on large-scale population-based experiments and quasi- experiments to reduce major global disease burdens in Africa, Asia and Europe – such as HIV, COVID-19, diabetes, hypertension, depression, and maternal and child health. His work has also contributed to our understanding of the major structural and behavioral drivers of population health, including aging, mobility, climate change, sexual risk behaviors, diet, exercise and drug use.

Medical anthropology raises important intellectual and scientific questions about human suffering and wellbeing, and about the human body in its relation to culture and society. This is a “survey course,” meaning that we will survey the most important topics in this field, including illness and suffering, ethnomedicine, ritual healing, the anthropology of the body, mental health and culture, medical pluralism and hegemony, critical medical anthropology, science technology and medicine studies, and others.
