 Students to Practice Language Skills, Explore Cultural Differences
Five new Global Health Language Labs being offered this semester in Arabic, French, Hindi, Mandarin and Spanish are filled to capacity with a total of 25 Duke students. The half-credit independent study, linked with the course "Introduction to Global Health" taught by Kathryn Whetten, introduces students to cultural sensitivities and differences in the context of global health, as well as to improve their language skills. Because most students in the course go on to complete global health fieldwork, the Labs will help them make the most of their experiences.
