SOCL 3200 - Global Health

Hours: 3
Examines the historical, economic, political, and social factors that shape the unequal distribution of health and burden of disease between global north and global south countries and between socioeconomic groups within countries. It further explores the worldwide impacts of globalization on health, infectious and chronic disease, availability of healthcare, health outcomes and proposed interventions. Students learn about and apply global development and global health theories to major global health topics such as environmental health, food security, indigenous health, refugee and migrant health, addiction, war and violence, HIV/AIDS and STDs, maternal and child health, and health impacts of climate change with special attention to how these matters intersect with economic, political, social, and cultural forces.
