ABSTRACT
The interdisciplinary field of global health has grown exponentially in recent years (Sparke, 2009). Prior to the 1990s, the term global health was mentioned in the titles of only a small handful of research papers. At that moment in time, though global health research was certainly being conducted, it was not being done in the name of a specific field of inquiry. To an extent, this picture has changed. In recent times, a field has cohered around the idea of global health, and it is one that is increasingly ubiquitous in the degree programs of universities around the globe (Neely and Nading, 2017). Moreover, a diverse range of disciplines, including geography, are now much more inclined to contribute research and scholarship labeled as global health (Brown and Moon, 2012; Herrick and Reubi, 2017).
