ANTH 266 - Global Health: Power, Sex, and Gender

Inequality shapes the ways that world health issues are experienced by individuals and communities across cultures. This course focuses on (1) how unequal access to power shapes reproductive health, the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, and other forms of gender-based health disparities; and (2) how power imbalances shapes the knowledge produced in the growing field of global health. The course will provide students with an understanding of the ways gender shapes global health issues. In addition, the course introduces students to the culture that underpins biomedical and public health practice.
