PUBH 524 - Health and Human Rights

(3)

Offered as needed. Health and the right to health are intertwined with many other rights, freedoms, and entitlements including food, housing, and employment. Students will explore these connections with a focus on vulnerable populations and intersectionality. Students will engage with and analyze core ethical principles, significant documents, and the efforts of key stakeholders as they relate to health and human rights. The course will introduce human-rights based approaches as means to addressing these inequities that disproportionately affect marginalized populations.
