PH 290: Structural Racism & Health
This graduate seminar course will provide a basis for understanding how health inequities result from structural forms of racism. Guided by an ecological framework, students will examine how societal racism manifests in various forms—from residential segregation and environmental injustice to social and economic policies—to impact health fundamentally. What is the evidence linking structural racism, broadly defined, to health inequities? How do scholars measure it? How do researchers analyze it? What can be done to mitigate health inequities due to racism? Students will discuss and synthesize the foundational and cutting-edge research in this area of racism and health.
