IHP health and community: globalization, culture, & care
IHP Health and Community is a semester-long, global comparative study abroad program for undergraduate students. The program is founded on a concept of health as a product of myriad interrelated determinants from the molecular to the global levels. Health, disease, illness, and wellbeing are seen not only as the outcomes of specific pathogens, toxins, or behavioral factors, but influenced by and acted upon through social relationships, cultural practices and attitudes, political institutions, ecological and economic forces. Thus, we also focus on the role of community in achieving health. Only when considered within this complex web of interrelated factors can we understand the ways health is distributed and experienced within local communities and across regions of the world. The Health and Community curriculum pays special attention to health disparities across the Global South and Global North, as well as a focus on community-driven health initiatives and the role of community in wellbeing.

IHP death & dying: perspectives, practices, & policies
Death and Dying is a comparative study abroad program that examines perspectives on death and dying in different cultural contexts across four different countries. It is an interdisciplinary semester that draws on anthropology, sociology, public health, cultural and area studies, arts, and humanities. Its mission is to provide undergraduate students from leading U.S. colleges and universities with an intensive experiential learning-based exposure to how cultural practices, social policies, and creative communities confront and celebrate death. Students learn how to "read a cemetery" and interact with deathcare workers, dark tourism operators, community organizers, and spiritual leaders to understand death and dying on a neighborhood and national scale. Through formal courses led by visiting and local faculty, homestays with local families, guest lectures by in-country academics, local politicians and policy makers, site visits and meetings with NGOs, and neighborhood organizations and community activists, students will develop a nuanced understanding of what death means within a community that exists within a specific socio-political context.
IHP's learning model is grounded in critical inquiry and analysis but attempts to bring those skills to bear on particular places and themes. It also helps students learn how to interact with a variety of local actors representing different perspectives, practices, and policies around death and dying.

IHP human rights: movements, power, and resistance
IHP Human Rights investigates the historical and social contexts of human rights both as a concept and field of practice. The program takes a deliberately broad perspective examining the full spectrum of rights discourse, while placing emphasis on analysis of the root causes that incite human rights struggles in different locales. The program builds off a multi-disciplinary framework of inquiry that ranges from political economy, history, and geography, to post-colonial and feminist scholarship. Key questions the program poses include: How did human rights develop historically as an idea and field of practice? What are the historical dynamics of power that shape local forms of social hierarchy, oppression, and dehumanization at the root of human rights struggles? What are the opportunities and shortcomings of rights discourse and human rights legal practice? How are grassroots movements, civil society organizations, and activists using the concept of human rights as a platform for change and transformation?

IHP cities in the 21st century: people, planning, and politics
Cities in the 21st Century is a comparative study abroad program that examines questions of social justice in different urban contexts across four different countries. It is an interdisciplinary semester which draws on urban political economy, anthropology, sociology, politics, development studies, and planning. Its mission is to provide undergraduate students from leading U.S. colleges and universities with an intensive experiential learning-based exposure to the challenges of urbanization in different parts of the world. Students learn how to "read the city" through formal courses led by traveling faculty, as well as through homestays with local families; guest lectures by in-country academics, local politicians and policy makers; site visits and meetings with NGOs, neighborhood organizations and community activists.
IHP's learning model is grounded in critical inquiry and analysis but attempts to bring those skills to bear on particular places and themes. It also helps students learn how to interact with a variety of local actors representing different and competing visions of the city, and to situate claims-making within the context of unequal access to wealth, resources, infrastructure, and political representation.

IHP human rights: movements, power, and resistance
IHP Human Rights
investigates the historical and social contexts of human rights both as a concept and field of practice. The program takes a deliberately broad perspective examining the full spectrum of rights discourse, while placing emphasis on analysis of the root causes that incite human rights struggles in different locales. The program builds off a multi-disciplinary framework of inquiry that ranges from political economy, history, and geography, to post-colonial and feminist scholarship. Key questions the program poses include: How did human rights develop historically as an idea and field of practice? What are the historical dynamics of power that shape local forms of social hierarchy, oppression, and dehumanization at the root of human rights struggles? What are the opportunities and shortcomings of rights discourse and human rights legal practice? How are grassroots movements, civil society organizations, and activists using the concept of human rights as a platform for change and transformation?
