HSC 3352 - Injustice in Public HealthCredits: 4 HSC 3352 will explore the intersections of identity on health and well-being. In particular, this course examines the pathways through which health inequities are created and perpetuated. Through critical analysis, students will develop a deeper understanding of how identity (with a focus on race and ethnicity but also exploring intersectional identities such as gender, sexual orientation and class) is connected to health and well-being and how oppression and discrimination contribute to negative health outcomes experienced by minoritized populations in the United States. Strategies for social justice and equity will be themes throughout this course. Students will gain an understanding of the root causes of health inequities and will analyze strategies to address and eliminate these root causes.
