In this mini-series, we ask scholars at UCL to reflect on the meaning and practice of critical global health. Here, Professor Sahra Gibbon (UCL Anthropology) introduces us to the term "critical global health" (CGH), and explains some of the the key considerations involved in thinking about health critically. This podcast series is hosted by the UCL Grand Challenge of Global Heath, with support from the Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences and UCL Health, Mind and Society.

Disruptive Voices - Critical Global Health (1/5): Dr Lu Gram on Critical Interdisciplinarity

UCL (University College London) is consistently ranked among the world's top ten universities (QS World University Rankings 2010 - 2021). Our excellence extends across all academic disciplines, from one of the world's foremost centres for research and teaching in the biological sciences to world-renowned centres for architecture (UCL Bartlett), education (UCL IOE) and fine art (UCL Slade School).

UCL is London's leading multidisciplinary university, with more than 13,000 staff and 43,000 students from 150 different countries. Founded in 1826 in the heart of London, UCL was the first university in England to welcome students of any religion and the first to welcome women on equal terms with men.
