We are currently living through a significant transformation of some of the core features of the international system, or what is more broadly often referred to as, “world order.” Several recent events have highlighted and impacted this sweeping change. The first is the failure of multilateral institutions (such as the UN, WHO or even the G-7 countries) to meet the challenge of the 2020 Covid pandemic. The failure of international collective action is also an obstacle to tackling the effects of global warming. In both cases narrow national interests trumped transnational values. The second is the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine which highlights the failure of multilateral institutions (such as the UN Security Council) to protect the independence of territorial nation-states, a principal unit of the international system since 1945. Narrow national interests continue to outweigh the commitment to the long-standing norm of territorial integrity of nation-states as the foundation for the modern post-imperial international order. Nationalism remains the most powerful force in international affairs. Third, the optimism of the post-Cold War (post-1989) era that economic globalization would lead to the liberalization of China and Russia has now almost entirely faded. The current moment is marked by the rise of these authoritarian states (together with Iran and others) which are seeking to overturn the Western liberal international order that was established after 1945. This Western order consists of three components: capitalist market economics, democratic self-rule and universal human rights, and peaceful diplomacy as the preferred way to manage inter-state conflicts. In its stead we are seeing in major parts of the world the persistence of socialist command economies, the rise of illiberal authoritarianism, and a return to 19th century patterns of war and conquest. Finally, the era of expanding globalization, driven by capitalist economic integration across the globe, appears to be over. The world is de-globalizing.

This course will examine some of the key institutional challenges and most vexing conceptual controversies in the current rethinking, some might say turmoil, over global governance and competing forms of world order. These debates reveal at least two key features. First, a depth of disagreement about the shape of the international system which is arguably unprecedented in the last seventy years. Almost every dimension of global government and governance is today the subjec

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PRACTICE

The need for more effective and equitable engagement with communities has become increasingly evident to public health professionals in recent years. Now, more than ever, the importance of developing deeper and more engaged academic/institutional-community partnerships is necessary to address systems of structural inequity. However, developing these relationships requires not only knowledge of equity-based partnering formats, but the cultivation of complex skill sets that allow public health practitioners to most fully develop relationships across all phases of community collaboration. Two valuable forms of community engagement that public health practitioners and students can make use of are community-based participatory research and service learning, which are the focus of this course. Additionally, this course acknowledges that community engagement is a diverse space where people from a variety of professional and personal backgrounds come together. For many years, people working in the technology space have recognized the benefits of “matrixed teams,” similarly over the past few years the notion of interprofessionalism has become an important and required aspect of allied health and public health professional training. Research has shown that bringing together students from two or more professions to learn about, from, and with each other is extremely effective in all forms of collaboration (within research and intervention teams and with communities) and ultimately lead to improved health outcomes. According to the World Health Organization, “Once students understand how to work interprofessionally, they are ready to enter the workplace as a member of the collaborative practice team. This is a key step in moving health systems from fragmentation to a position of strength.” Pinsert course number – insert studio name 2 of 24 The overall goal of this course is for students to learn about and begin to practice the tenets of three frameworks: Interprofessional Education (IPE), Service-Learning (SL), and Community?Based Participatory Research (CBPR). With regard to interprofessional engagement, the course will provide students with a solid understanding of four key IPE competencies: roles/responsibilities, teams/teamwork, ethics/values, and communication. Complementing this, the course will introduce and integrate SL pedagogy to prepare students to engage in community service projects. The SL model prioritizes three aspects of project implementation: student learning, direct attenti
