The artwork gathered here provides a glimpse into how Princeton students are bringing challenging social and medical realities into the life of the University as it seeks to internationalize education. Supported by the Program in Global Health and Health Policy and the Health Grand Challenges Initiative, this interdisciplinary group of students worked to combine research and service in communities all over the world—from China to South Africa, Sierra Leone to Brazil and Belize. The photographs and objects they have brought back convey the rich intensity of their encounters with the people of global health. In the ethnographic stories and individual narratives that accompany each piece, students not only add historical and contextual depth to the vulnerable populations they engaged—they also bring critical scrutiny to the possibilities and limits of their own modes of representation. Students reflect on evidence-making practices and ask how large-scale health interventions affect not only patients, but also their families, medical workers, health systems and politics. Together, their work proves the value of a people-centered approach to global health.
