Global Health and Migration

Catalog description

GLHLTH 725K introduces topics at the intersection of global health and migration, including populations who experience forced migration and displacement. The course uses intersectional and interdisciplinary approaches and frameworks to examine health inequities among migrant populations and the determinants that drive those disparities. We will cover broad topics related to global health and migration including climate change, urbanization, infectious disease, mental health, and sexual, reproductive, and maternal health. Diverse case studies, lessons learned, and ethical public health approaches will be discussed to promote migrant health and protect the human rights of all migrants.
