Two excellent courses to consider this Spring! Health! Food!
Posted by hannah.cherry
Class #1 to consider (perfect for health majors or anyone else interested in the topic!)
Community & Public Health Issues
Is Inequality Making Us Sick? There is much more to our health than bad habits, health care, or unlucky genes. Students will discuss how the distribution of power, wealth and resources shape opportunities for health.
This is a hybrid course, where students meet once a week in addition to online discussion. There will be an opportunity to participate on a community-based learning project to assess tobacco and alcohol advertising in local retail stores.
