Latest issue of student-run journal tackles hot topics in global health
Video game interventions for children with autism, floating mobile hospitals, and what healthcare systems can learn from Netflix – these are just a few of the topics covered in the latest issue of the Global Health Annual Review (GHAR). The open-access journal, run by students and alumni of the MSc Global Health program, is now in its third year of publication.
GHAR invites students, academics, and professionals to contribute and share their original scholarly work with the global health community at McMaster and beyond.
Given that global health is transdisciplinary and collaborative, the journal explores topics from multiple perspectives and fields within global health – from health systems governance to social justice to environmental health – and the submissions reflect important collaborations between researchers across different institutions and cultures.
“The journal has grown with each new iteration,” explains senior editor Kaiyang Fan, who graduated from the Global Health program in 2017. “It’s been a big undertaking but I’m so thankful to the editorial team for their patience and perseverance as we continue to expand this project.”
Fan and the rest of the editorial team reviewed submissions this year from Canadian graduate students, as well as students from McMaster’s partner universities in India and the Netherlands. And while most of the submissions are authored by students, this latest issue also includes articles by working global health professionals from around the world. “Perhaps it’s a sign that people are becoming more familiar with our work,” Fan says.
The third issue of GHAR includes research articles and opinion editorials categorized into two thematic areas: ‘Global Health Inequalities’ and ‘Innovations.’
