Throughout history, epidemics and disasters have influenced the course of public health and human history. This class will use a series of case studies about past, current, and potential future public health disasters and epidemics to introduce students to key concepts in public health. Students will contextualize these public health events and their impacts on modern public health practice. Students will work together to develop their own case studies and present these to the class.
Open to freshman Public Health, Nutrition, Kinesiology, and Communication Disorders students only.
