Inequality, Oppression and Health

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

The history of a people, cultural background and the social environment in which people grow, live, work and play have a powerful influence on health. These historic and societal factors determine why some people are healthy and others become ill. This course will enable students to understand and explain how inequality and oppression impact health. Strategies to address these health determinants across a diversity of health contexts will be explored.
