Student essays from our second blended-learning course

Tanja Hammel taught an interdisciplinary blended-learning course based on our MOOC at the University of Basel in autumn 2022. While the course attracted many students in the first weeks, eight students (four BA and four MA students) from different disciplines such as Global Health, African Studies, History, Geography, and Politics finished the course. Some of the essays they wrote were so good that we simply could not just put them into a drawer, as they deserve publishing and being read by a wider public. We therefore proudly present six essays ranging widely from digital solutions in maternal health in Kenya, urban gardening in Kenya, transdisciplinary research, decolonizing global health to the colonial legacy in ethnic discrimination in access to healthcare.
