1 credit(s)
Introduces students to the critical analysis of race, racial stratification, and racism using social epidemiologic methods within the practice of health care and public health. This course focuses on (1) centering the lived experiences and expertise of BIPOC communities; (2) conceptualizing racism-related factors as societal/political determinants of health; and, (3) developing critical self-consciousness around one’s race-related perspectives and how they might inform practice. This course includes lectures and interactive seminars exploring race, racism, structural violence, racial identity and privilege from a systems perspective while examining how these constructs interact with health care, public health, and their professionals. Enrollment limited to CHP and COO students only.
