Do you need a warm up exercise or extra credit assignment for your course at the start of this spring semester? Do you want to expand your class discussion beyond the walls of your lecture hall? Incorporate #DoNowUHealth in your lesson plan.

 

The Do Now U post, “Who Should be Responsible for Funding Global Health Initiatives?,” created by Duke University students Ajay Desai, Kerry Mallinson, Shivani Purohit, Murotiwamambo Mudziviri, and Victoria Coaxum in professor Sherryl Broverman’s course, is now live on KQED’s website.

 

In their post, the students describe past successes of independent, philanthropic organizations at spearheading large scale health reforms, and question whether international organizations and governments should contribute financially to global health initiatives.
Join the debate by commenting on the post’s page and sharing your thoughts and opinions on social media platforms such as Twitter by using the hashtag #DoNowUHealth.
