This project aims to study an existing innovativepartnership between the educators of a Global Healthuniversity degree and a local London-based voluntary-sector organisation. The scheme allows Global Healthstudents at Imperial College London to learn about localhealth inequalities through an experiential placementmodule with a non-profit organisation, Young BrentFoundation. Young Brent Foundation works to address thecomplex determinants of the high rates of youth violence inthe neighbouring council of Brent. Many studentsexperience their placement as deeply transformative andsome choose to continue collaborating with their voluntary-sector organisation after graduation. Global Health is a multidisciplinary field of research andpractice focusing on health and healthcare across theworld. The provision of university degrees in Global Healthhas exploded since the millennium. Paradoxically, most ofthese are financially and logistically inaccessible to thosecommunities with direct experience of health inequalities,whether these are in geographically distant countries, orneighbouring the university campus. Academic Global Health has been characterised by inequalities in power andinfluence along geographical, class, gender and ethniclines, such that a multitude of voices are marginalised indebates about what Global Health curricula should looklike. Recently, academic Global Health has been critiquedfor focusing too heavily on health issues affecting Low andMiddle-Income Countries, and for resulting in the "othering"of Low and Middle-Income Countries.Collaborative partnership in Global Health education havenot been studied before. The purpose of this doctoralproject is to examine the value of this innovative approachto curriculum co-design and co-delivery with civil societypartners and how it may serve to acknowledge theexpertise that lies in the local communities most affectedby health inequalities. This research project will highlight the ongoing experiencesand the benefits of collaboration for all participants,including, importantly, Young Brent Foundation itself. Indoing so, this research project will enable Young BrentFoundation staff to further articulate their own needs andhighlight what education around social, political andcultural aspects of health in London should look like. Theproject employs qualitative and ethnographic methods toexplore and critically analyse the complexities and thepedagogical and ethical tensions in this partnership foreach stakeholder (Young Brent Foundation, students andeducators). Collaborative education partnerships may provide asolution for Higher Education Institutions and educators tofacilitate more inclusive and participatory education. Yet,such schemes will need to be planned and managed inreflexive ways in order to achieve balanced and meaningfulpartnership. This research project contributes to an important critique ofthe meaning of Global Health education and knowledgeproduction and will provide key practical insights to informfuture educational partnerships.

该项目旨在研究全球健康大学学位的教育工作者与伦敦当地非营利部门组织之间现有的创新伙伴关系。该计划允许伦敦帝国理工学院的全球健康学生通过与非营利组织Young Brent Foundation合作的体验式安置模块了解当地的健康不平等。青年布伦特基金会致力于解决布伦特邻近理事会青年暴力高发的复杂决定因素。许多学生体验到他们的实习具有深刻的变革性，有些学生选择在毕业后继续与他们的非营利组织合作。全球健康是一个多学科的研究和实践领域，专注于世界各地的健康和医疗保健。自千禧年以来，全球健康领域的大学学位数量呈爆炸式增长。奇怪的是，无论是在地理上遥远的国家，还是在大学校园附近，那些直接经历健康不平等的城市在财政和后勤上都无法获得其中的大多数。学术全球健康的特点是权力和影响力的不平等，沿着地理，阶级，性别和种族界限，这样，许多声音都被边缘化债务关于全球健康课程应该是什么样子。近年来，学术界对全球健康教育的批评主要集中在低收入和中等收入国家的健康问题上，导致了低收入和中等收入国家的“他者化“。这个博士项目的目的是研究这种创新方法的价值，与民间社会合作伙伴共同设计和共同交付课程，以及它如何有助于承认受健康不平等影响最严重的当地社区的专业知识。这个研究项目将突出正在进行的经验和合作的好处，为所有参与者，包括，重要的是，青年布伦特基金会本身。在这样做的过程中，这个研究项目将使青年布伦特基金会的工作人员能够进一步阐明自己的需求，并突出什么教育周围的社会，政治和文化方面的健康在伦敦应该是什么样子。该项目采用定性和人种学的方法来探索和批判性地分析这种伙伴关系的复杂性和教学和道德的紧张关系，为每个利益相关者（青年布伦特基金会，学生和教师）。合作教育伙伴关系可以为高等教育机构和教育工作者提供解决方案，以促进更具包容性和参与性的教育。然而，这些计划需要以反思的方式进行规划和管理，以实现平衡和有意义的伙伴关系。这个研究项目有助于对全球健康教育和知识生产的意义进行重要的批判，并将为未来的教育伙伴关系提供关键的实践见解。
