PH 135 An Exploration of Race, Anti-Black Racism & Public Health

Following the summer of 2020, a number of local municipalities in the U.S. declared ‘racism is a public health crisis’.  In order to grapple with the impact of racism on the health of individuals, we must first understand the concept of race and the enduring impact on specific groups. This course will examine the history of racial concepts that continue to permeate U.S. society since its founding. We will explore the social construction of race and racism – including a review of anti-black racism.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
