Health Inequities, Care, and Justice in the United States
Credits: 3
Grad Meth: Reg, Aud
Jointly offered with: ANTH413.
Credit only granted for: ANTH413 or ANTH613.
Systematic health inequities in the United States are well documented, shaped by structural forces that determine who gets sick, what illnesses/diseases they are vulnerable to, what their care options are, how they are treated while seeking care, and their ultimate health outcomes. This course applies the concepts, methods, and theoretical approaches of medical anthropology to examine the roots and implications of these health inequities. Students will also assess efforts to address these inequities through tailored interventions and social movements organized around equity and justice.
