Abstract: The research papers you will read in the following pages reflect these themes, and demonstrate the richness, variety, complexity, and importance of comparative health research. The diversity of disciplines— law, anthropology, history, and public health sciences — reflects our Program’s openness to scholarly research that is comprehensive and probing. Our scholars demonstrate the importance of not rigidly adhering to disciplinary silos if the research requires broader approaches.
