Sociocultural norms impact health and stem, in part, from cultural products such as art, literature, and film. This course will consider popular motion pictures as both data and intervention on societal knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about health, identities, and social determinants. This course uses film to explore and question the cultural landscape of public health in today's society.
This class is open to Public Health majors only This course counts as a Public Health 300-599 elective (even though it is not at the 300+ level)
