An Exploration of Race, Anti-Black Racism & Public Health

Graduate

Following the summer of 2020, a number of local municipalities in the U.S. declared ‘racism is a public health crisis’. In order to grapple with the impact of racism on the health of individuals, we must first understand the concept of race and the enduring impact on specific groups. This course will examine the history of racial concepts that continue to permeate U.S. society since its founding. We will explore the social construction of race and racism – including a review of anti-black racism. 0.50 Dartmouth units; (CT/NC) *Core Requirement for: None Prerequisites: None Offered: Spring (1st half) - Thursday 2:00 pm - 5:20 pm
