The dissertation workshop is open to doctoral students who are at the stage of developing a dissertation prospectus. The goal of the workshop is to help students build skills and develop research practices, and to provide a collaborative forum for the purpose of putting together a dissertation prospectus. Through the course of the semester, students are expected to develop a research plan and timeline, share and comment on each other's writings and research ideas, and make significant progress on writing the prospectus.

This course offers a survey of the Political Economy of Public Health. This is an emergent research stream that seeks to understand the distal political and economic causes of population health, and represents a return to the origins of public health, captured by Rudolph Virchow's famous dictum: "Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing more than medicine on a grand scale." It extends the social determinants of disease tradition, making it more dynamic and moving further upstream.

Global Capitalism, since its inception, has created and relied on hierarchical relational structures across different spatial units in the world, including importantly the divide between the Global North and South. The capitalist classes in the Global North have been able to exploit people and resources in the Global South, while imposing unequal exchange relations with nations/spatial units in the Global South. States in the Global North have formed an alliance with their capitalist classes to achieve and maintain economic and political dominance over the peoples of the Global South.
