ANTH 02355 - Global Health in Anthropological Perspective

Credits: 3

This course provides an introduction and overview of the interdisciplinary field of global health. Based on the principle that population-level patterns and individual experiences of health and disease are affected by both global and local forces (sociocultural, political-economic, biological, and environmental), this course takes an in-depth case study approach to contemporary issues to analyze interconnections between local, national, and international health problems including health equity, gender and health, pandemics and epidemics, and non-communicable chronic diseases.
