Seminar in the Sociology of Global Health

Undergraduate

This course examines the local and transnational relations governing health and health care in global south settings. We investigate the relative role of international groups, nations, and local health care providers in shaping how health care is received (and not received). Topics include: political violence and care in conflict settings; poverty, structural violence, and neoliberalism; and diverging ideas about bodies and healing. Prerequisite(s): 3h 1000-level SOCI and third-year standing, or permission of the instructor.
