Health and Human Rights: Glossary of Terms
2017
This short glossary is designed to accompany the three-video series on health and human rights prepared in partnership between the Incubator and Alicia Ely Yamin, Visiting Professor of Law and Program Director of the Health and Human Rights Initiative at the O’Neill Institute at Georgetown University Law Center, and Adjunct Instructor on Law and Global Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. This list includes only those terms, phrases, and concepts that are included and discussed within the video narratives. Many of these terms represent controversial issues, with highly contested debates over the “best” or most representative meaning(s).
Additional Incubator resources developed to accompany the video series include the following (available as separate documents): an annotated bibliography (including major human rights laws and conventions mentioned in the series, not included in this glossary); a teaching guide with summary, learning objectives, discussion questions, and a short list for further reading; a select human rights timeline; and a Q&A Factsheet on Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
