Anthropology
Description: Recent scholarship demonstrates that health outcomes are not simply shaped by factors internal to the body, but at the interface between bodies and the social, political, and spatial assemblages that structure the environments in which we live. This course explores these interconnected factors by examining the relationship between geographic and social spaces and health outcomes. Through interdisciplinary content from urban anthropology, critical indigenous theory, geography, and public health students will explore how migration and mobility, settler colonialism, gentrification, and other forms of political and economic change impact bodies. Students will use theoretical approaches of space, place, and health and place and space specific research methods to evaluate nearby urban or rural areas using. Course content will include critical analysis of health policy and relationships between race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, policy, wellness, and health disparities. Letter grade only.
