3 credits · Graduate

This course is designed to introduce students of health promotion to critical and social theories, including but not limited to feminist theories, critical race theories, and queer theory. This course will provide students with an opportunity to explore and critically analyze the principal underlying theoretical principles of each theory and how these theories align with social justice, social determinants of health, and ethical principles of health promotion. This course will also give students insights into how these theories can be applied to health research and principles of health promotion.
