Mandate
The magazine was created to highlight the social, political, legal, economic and medical issues that are affecting the health of people throughout the world. “Juxtaposition” comes from the verb to juxtapose, defined as “the act or instance of placing two or more things side by side.” Correspondingly, the magazine aims to contrast perspectives raised by different disciplines, such as engineering, law, economics, medical anthropology, business, and health sciences, and to explore global health issues in a thought-provoking manner.
The objectives of Juxtaposition Global Health Magazine are to: a) critically analyze and promote dialogue about both ‘conventional’ global health issues and ‘non-conventional’ issues; b) provide a forum for student led dissemination of global health information; c) promote and showcase the work and research of faculty, staff and students in global health taking place through the University of Toronto; d) raise awareness of global health issues among the University of Toronto community: student, faculty, and staff; e) promote an interdisciplinary approach in problem solving for global health concerns that encourages non-medical disciplines to liaise with medical disciplines; and, f) To provide unique leadership opportunities for students, faculty and alumni in the field of international health and media publications
