GGR253H5 • Health, Environments, and Society

This course introduces students to geographic perspectives on health outcomes, wellbeing, and access to health care. It examines current theoretical, conceptual, and methodological underpinnings in health geography through an examination of the role of various environments (e.g., social, economic, political, physical, health care, etc.) in shaping individual and societal health and wellbeing. Importantly, the course focuses on inequities in health by paying particular attention to marginalized populations and those living in vulnerable circumstances.
