Learning From India's Kumbh Mela: Glossary of Terms
2017
This glossary is part of a teaching pack, “Accidents & Injuries: Lessons From a Stampede,” and is designed as a companion resource to accompany two teaching cases produced by the Global Health and Learning Incubator about health-related risks and responses at the 2013 Kumbh Mela pilgrimage festival in India: Stampede at the Kumbh Mela: Preventable Accident? and Toilets and Sanitation at the Kumbh Mela. The glossary includes a brief list of key terms related to accidents and injuries, particularly as they relate to mass gatherings. Other companion materials in the “Accidents and Injuries” teaching pack include an instructor’s note, discussion guide, role-play exercise, and annotated bibliography. As a supplemental resource for the toilets and sanitation case, the glossary also includes key terms relevant to infectious disease management pertinent to mass gathering events that depend on public water sources and sanitation; a teaching note and companion note are also available for that case. Both cases and their companion materials are suitable for undergraduate and graduate classes in the study of religion, humanitarian aid, intentional and unintentional injuries, public health, and emergency medicine with a focus on disaster management.
