This course introduces students to the local and global lessons in health equity research and practice, covering topics such as the effects of structural drivers and systems of power on health equity and inequities in reproductive health and immigrant health. This course then goes on to apply these lessons to health equity research projects in settings around the world. Through exploration of global interventions, learners will be prepared to take on health disparities in their local communities by understanding why these health problems exist, what contributes to them, and how to create sustainable solutions. This course includes lectures, panel discussions, and interviews with leading experts.
