Global Health Education & Learning Incubator
2022–2023
Elizabeth Hentschel
As the pedagogy fellow for the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator (GHELI), my primary responsibilities included facilitating global health focused workshops, managing the hiring process for GENED 1063: World Health Challenges and Opportunities, and co-creating section guides alongside the instructional design specialist. Our workshops highlighted key themes in equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging, such as characteristics of effective listening, and equity-minded syllabus design. The focus of my capstone project is a snapshot of one of the workshops we generated, which we moved online to GHELI’s repository. These workshop teaching packs included interactive videos we filmed in GHELI’s studio and online workshop materials. The workshops serve as a global public good, and the online platform ensures that the resources are accessible to all interested teachers.

As the pedagogy fellow for the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator (GHELI), I served as the liaison between the Bok Center for Teaching and Learning and GHELI. My primary responsibilities included managing the hiring process for GENED 1063: World Health Challenges and Opportunities, facilitating workshops and teaching observations for GENED 1063 TFs, co-creating section guides alongside the instructional design specialist, and ensuring that all homework assignments were aligned with section goals. This role has allowed me to grow as an educator and take a deep dive into the "behind the scenes" side of teaching.

As a Bok Pedagogy Fellow for the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator (GHELI), and also a PhD student in the Global Health and Population Department (GHP) at the School of Public Health (HSPH), I have learned that there are few existing collaborations between the two departments. As the PF for GHELI, I lead the hiring of TA's for the course, pulling primarily from the GHP department at HSPH. In doing so, I have seen first-hand the extent to which undergraduates benefit from their relationships with our TA's. Many students reach out to our TA's for summer internship, career, and overall life advice. Our TA's have been incredible mentors to our students. This experience has made me reflect on how great the opportunity is within the GHP department to foster these types of relationships. As such, I am proposing a Global Health Mentorship Program that I aim to launch in the 2021-2022 AY.
