In epidemiology, public health scientists use quantitative and analytic tools examine to the distribution of disease across the population and to identify the various factors that shape these patterns. This course will explore how epidemiologic tools can be used to interrogate the social and structural factors that create health disparities in society. Students will learn about key social determinants of health (including class, race, and gender), the various pathways by which social experiences “get under the skin” to impact physiologic disease states, and how epidemiologists investigate these processes through population-based research. Students will leave the course with an understanding of the ways public health professionals and community members alike can use this public health research to develop policies and programs that protect the health of vulnerable groups and reduce inequality.

What role does scientific expertise play (or not play) in American democracy? What role should scientific expertise play (or not play) in American democracy? These are the key questions we’ll address in this class, focusing on a wide range of examples such as government responses to public health crises, environmental crises, and war. We’ll tackle these questions from multiple angles, drawing on ideas from across the social sciences, including political science, psychology, sociology, economics, history, and communication. We’ll focus largely on the United States, though in some cases compare the US experience with other democracies to understand how unique aspects of our democratic institutions influence the link between science and democracy.

Humanitarian organizations play life-preserving roles in global conflicts, and have front-row views of disasters ranging from the 2010 Haiti earthquake to the 2011 Fukushima tsunami in Japan. Yet even while they provide vital assistance to millions of people in crisis, such organizations are beset by important paradoxes that hinder their capacity to create sustainable interventions. They work to fill long-lasting needs, but are prone to moving quickly from one site to the next in search of the latest emergency. They strive to be apolitical, yet are invariably influenced by the geopolitical agendas of global powers. How do such contradictions arise, and what is their impact upon millions of aid recipients around the world? Drawing on case studies from South Sudan to Haiti, this course addresses these contradictions by exploring how and why medical aid organizations attempt, and sometimes fail, to reconcile short-term goals, such as immediate life-saving, with long-term missions, such as public health programs and conflict resolution initiatives.

Health systems are built on healthcare services and public health interventions designed, funded, and implemented by a myriad of actors, from governments to multilateral organizations and NGOs. These stakeholders of the system regularly assess whether a new program or intervention, fueled by technological or knowledge advances, is a worthwhile investment. They must weigh the benefits, costs, and relevance of a new program against other health programs, but also against other societal investments such as education and infrastructure. Funding, people, and time are limited: health programs must be evaluated, compared, and prioritized. This course will ask students to act as consultants hired by a government or a private organization, to comprehensively evaluate a public health intervention. They will be provided with all the tools and knowledge needed to evaluate the costs, the effectiveness, and the social impact expected for this intervention. They will then reflect on how their assessment fits within contemporary debates on public health funding and governance, including concerns about ethics and the decolonization of global health. Students may showcase the final product of this course as part of their portfolio for their future endeavors, including applying for consulting jobs. Course background in Microeconomics is highly recommended. This is a Gordis Teaching Fellowship course. Priority registration is given to Public Health Studies majors. Other students will be permitted to register as space allows.

Humanitarian organizations play life-preserving roles in global conflicts, and have front-row views of disasters ranging from the 2010 Haiti earthquake to the 2011 Fukushima tsunami in Japan. Yet even while they provide vital assistance to millions of people in crisis, such organizations are beset by important paradoxes that hinder their capacity to create sustainable interventions. They work to fill long-lasting needs, but are prone to moving quickly from one site to the next in search of the latest emergency. They strive to be apolitical, yet are invariably influenced by the geopolitical agendas of global powers. How do such contradictions arise, and what is their impact upon millions of aid recipients around the world? Drawing on case studies from South Sudan to Haiti, this course addresses these contradictions by exploring how and why medical aid organizations attempt, and sometimes fail, to reconcile short-term goals, such as immediate life-saving, with long-term missions, such as public health programs and conflict resolution initiatives.

This course will focus on mind-body practices and their place in public health. We will learn about different mind-body practices and talk about if/how mind-body practices can help amerliorate the national burden of disease. We will also learn how to identify evidence based practices (EBPs) in public health and learn the core components of designing EBPs. We will then combine what we learned about mind-body practices and designing EBPs to create programs that lessen the burden of disease. The mind-body portion of this course is experiential and will include the practice of meditation, yoga, other mindfulness exercises. You will also be asked to reflect on these practices through journaling.

In global health, human vulnerability is often defined by population-level disease burdens. One’s vulnerability, however, is highly context-dependent and constantly shaped by diverse social mechanisms. Understanding social, cultural, economic, and environmental variations within a country can guide program and resource planning tailored to the most underserved individuals and communities. Students will apply critical thinking to social and behavioral theories and cases in global health. Through workshops, students will employ human-centered design methods to design an intervention suited to the needs of the population of focus. The course will also cover implementation research perspectives, stakeholder and community engagement, and ethical issues in global health research. Students will have the opportunity to propose a social and behavior change intervention with an implementation plan. This is a Gordis Teaching Fellowship course. Priority registration is given to Public Health Studies majors. Other students will be permitted to register as space allows.
