ANTH 2311 Global Health and Social Justice: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Illness and Inequality

This lower-division interdisciplinary course in global health and social justice is designed to enrich the educational experiences of undergraduates across all disciplines. It teaches students to critically analyze the strengths and weaknesses of intersecting (and at times contrasting) disciplinary approaches related to health. Students will gain familiarity with the disciplinary orientations of medical anthropology, social medicine, global health Jaw, health policy/health economics, public health, and epidemiology. Furthermore, students will learn to write concisely, synthesize information, evaluate related arguments, and develop their own critical perspectives. The course meets the GE Core in 090 Foundational Area-Integrative/Experiential Learning in the Interdisciplinary section.
