The GLB203 course has focused on today’s and future health concerns and solutions, one of the most important United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG3 see https://sdgs.un.org/goals). In the light of 5 disciplinary perspectives such as bioengineering, business administration, food science and engineering, industrial engineering, molecular biology and genetics, and psychological science, you will address one of the most crucial sustainability problems of our times. You can also find a non-disciplinary professional perspective through activist and wellness trainers (the term may not be accurate, yet Dr Bengü will correct it). In this module of 203.04, however, we will specifically address one of the most critical challenges in our times from a psychological perspective: health crises. Students in this section will review and discuss current literature and produce innovative ideas related to health emergencies such as the current global COVID 19 virus pandemic, natural disasters, etc. We will focus on understanding how a global health threat impacts peoples’ behaviours on various levels such as individual, group, national, and global. Also, the class will examine the consequences of these impacts on a wide variety of behaviours, thoughts, and emotions of people, such as rapid changes in lifestyle and eating habits, economic behaviours, social exclusion, attitudes towards minorities, discrimination, conspiracy beliefs, and social media. We will, therefore, explore what effective strategies may work to overcome these health-threatening global problems.
