EPI 5010 Urban Inequities and Health 3.0 Credits
This survey course will explore “root causes” of urban health inequities as they are impacted via various dimensions of urban inequality (e.g., residential segregation, gentrification and displacement, and racialized violence) and examine the pathways linking them to health and health inequities in urban settings. Students will explore these issues using an explicit structural racism lens that is grounded in Critical Race and Ecosocial Theories and draw on a collection of interdisciplinary literature from sociology, anthropology, history, social epidemiology, and other related public health disciplines. Finally, the course will explore various models for action in addressing urban inequities and the impact policies and interventions have on health inequities in urban settings.
