Health and Illness are considered as a sociocultural phenomenon. Meanings are attached to health and illness as they are influenced by our social values and our cultural beliefs, which to a large degree are influenced by available medical technologies. People's experiences of health and illness are shaped by a range of social factors (e.g., race, class, gender) and follow clear patterns of social inequality. A critical approach is taken to examine topics such as the social determinants of health, illness and healthcare; the social construction of illness; the medicalization of society; and the social organization of health care. Writing intensive.

Additional Course Details:

This course will provide a broad overview of key issues in the social scientific study of global health, drawing on perspectives from sociology, demography, and public health. Initial classes will expose students to the theory of the epidemiological transition, moving to contemporary perspectives on “the social determinants of health.” Some subsequent topics will include debates surrounding universal health coverage and social protection; population health in low-and middle-income countries; cross-national and institutional approaches to health disparities; financial crises and health; and corporate and political determinants of health. Given the current public health crisis precipitated by COVID-19, special attention will also be paid to pandemics and population health inequalities.
