“I also had the privilege to share my ongoing research on with the wider community at EHESP, Rennes.”
“As part of the role, I was involved in developing the curriculum for the integration module, design a case study […]. I delivered a 3-hour lecture and workshop on Theory of Change and Logic Models in Global Health.”
“The opportunity to collaborate with distinguished colleagues, engage with diverse students, and contribute to cutting-edge teaching motivated me to apply.”
“Professionally, the Visiting Professor position at EPH expanded my teaching experience and my research network and provided valuable collaborative opportunities, leading to several potential joint research papers. I gained fresh perspectives on AI applications through interdisciplinary engagements and improved my teaching skills by adapting to a new academic environment. Personally, the experience enriched my cultural understanding and enhanced my ability to work in diverse settings. Living in Rennes allowed me to immerse myself in French culture, broadening my horizons and fostering personal growth. The friendships and professional connections I made during this tenure are invaluable and will have a lasting impact on my career and personal life.”
“I think the programme is an amazing opportunity to work with students with a global background and in this way it is unique.”
“I made wonderful new professional connections with the other professors as well as with the staff at EHESP, the unofficial talks and the discussions were of great value to me both professionally and personally. They also led to some publication and new project ideas, which I hope will soon come to fruition. (…) Beyond that it was amazing to learn about the experiences of my students, the great work that they have already been doing and all that they are planning to do more. I am definitely invigorated and energized to continue our work due to this experience.”
“This experience enhanced my teaching skills and challenged me to adapt to a new educational environment”
“It was very enriching to work in a team of professors to develop case studies and workshops as well as jointly discuss the performance of students and grading criteria. […] I have valued the exchange and interaction we had between visiting professors and faculty staff. It was very enlightening to see the different fields they work in and the research methods they apply. In addition, sharing experiences about writing grant proposals and managing the “academic life” created a supportive environment. It was also insightful to discuss with colleagues their academic pathways after graduating from Europubhealth. Moreover, I have learned a lot from students, for example, the creative forms they used for a final presentation of their group work.”
“Overall, I had a great experience during the Integration Module and I think it is an invaluable part of the EPH experience.”
“Getting together with students from both cohorts and all universities makes that time extremely fun and energizing. I remember this from my own time as a student, and I also could feel it even now in my capacity as a professor. They are an extremely unique and special offering that you could not get in most other MPH programs, and I think this is one of the things that makes the EPH so very special.”
“The approach unleashed the innovation and ingenuity of students, way beyond my expectation”
“It was very heart-warming to see students put what they had learnt into practice – within a very limited time frame.”
“I have truly enjoyed interacting with students from around the world, discussing the subject matter, and collaborating with visiting professors.”
“I have been working with the students to guide them through the project development process with a focus on fairness and inclusivity, particularly in relation to a case study on the Roma community in Europe. Persistent discrimination has led to inequalities. Additionally, I successfully introduced a workshop on identity that was positively received by the students. While developing this framework, I have collaborated with experts on the Theatre of the Oppressed Forum Theatre, exploring concepts of power and equity.”
“It was fascinating to see students from different backgrounds working together.”
“Watching these individuals collaborate in three groups on an Ethiopia food malnutrition project, to develop a well-thought-out research proposal that could be used in the country was truly inspiring.”
“It was a very interesting experience to work with students coming from so many different backgrounds and World regions.”
“Our task as visiting professors was to coach the students to develop project proposals in small groups in the case of my groups related to the scenario addressing social inequities in LGBTIQ health and healthcare. I think they did an amazing job taking into account that it is not so easy to work together as a group for the first time. In the project proposals and final presentations finally, I gave a talk on Research epistemologies methodologies and ethics in public health research specifically in the field of intersex studies and I participated in a round table and workshop in the career days.”
“I would like to highlight the good communication with the coordination team the other visiting professors and the students.”
