Public Health 482 - Race, Public Health & Policy

This course explores historical and contemporary approaches to race and ethnicity, racism, and public health. The course will also explore how biological constructions of race are shaped by policies and institutional practices and continue to be challenged in the production of biomedical and public health research and biotechnological development. We also present research on the embodiment of racism from multiple levels (e.g., structural, institutional, and interpersonal).

This class is open to Public Health majors only
