Course Description

Concerns the prevention of disease, the promotion of health, and well-being of populations beyond national borders through an understanding of human health that integrates many sectors, including socioeconomic, political, cultural, geographical, and environmental. Critically examines historical and contemporary approaches to international management of these issues and emphasizes their impact on vulnerable populations or disadvantaged social groups. Particularly, students may be provided with an equity-oriented perspective in analyzing the complexities of health disparity and accommodations--due to factors like race, ethnicity, class, disability, gender, and religion in a wider variety of countries--and how they underpin future challenges to global health improvement.
