PH 298 - Queer and Trans Health and Health Policy

This course will explore public health topics as they pertain to queer and trans populations over the life course. Following a social science rather than epidemiological or medical perspective, this course will cover historical and current queer and trans health topics; an introduction to theories and research methods pertinent to the study of queer and trans health; and the practice of advocacy and policy around queer and trans health in the United States. We will celebrate the humanity and resilience of queer and trans populations through a strengths-based perspective and an active focus on diverse experiences among these populations.
