ANT 232 - Health, Inequality, and Social Justice4 credits (Fall or Spring) This course uses ethnographically-based case studies of chronic, infectious, mental and environmental illnesses, including those that take place in disaster contexts, to explore how health, illness, and healing relate to culture. Themes will include health, social justice and human rights; suffering and structural violence; the embodiment of inequality; healthcare at the margins of society; and disasters and environmental illnesses in a global context. The course illuminates how anthropological theories and methods can be used to improve lives.
