Health Disparities in the U.S.

Health Disparities in the United States
In this course we will explore the growing conversation surrounding health inequities in the United States. We will examine how health and wellness are affected—and often determined—by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, geography, and ability. We will examine current policies, health determinants, and possible solutions to health inequities by reading works by experts such as David Williams and Ichiro Kawachi. Students will write short responses to the readings and a health autobiography that reflects on how their identities impact their health status.
