SOC 0473 - SOCIOLOGY OF GLOBALIZATION AND HEALTH

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
People's health is increasingly tied to global forces such as climate change, globalization of food production and distribution, migration, and international finance and trade policies. The course explores how globalization impacts health outcomes in the United States and around the world. Students learn about how global trade and international regulations affect governments' ability to control the "problems without passports" that impact the health and well-being of their populations. In addition, we consider factors shaping inequalities in access to health services.
