PH 235 - History of Public Health (4) (PCE 235 )
This course explores the history of global public health from 1850 to the present with a special emphasis on the colonial, political, and economic contexts of public health initiatives and the global burdens of disease today. By examining contexts and initiatives through time and across the globe, students will engage with the push and pull between a medicalized approach to public health and a more ecological model that includes social determinants. Special focal points include disease eradication programs, reproductive health, health care, HIV/AIDS, and contemporary approaches to gun violence and Reparations as public health issues. Public Health majors and minors will encounter case studies that deepen their understanding of the major specializations: Environmental Health, Community Health and Education, Epidemiology, Global Health, and Health Policy and Management. Fall semester.
