AS.004.351 (02) Community-Engaged Writing: Public Health Campaigns & Information Access Th 1:30PM - 4:00PM Fusilier, Lauren BLC B4040 Spring 2026
  • Description: How do you take the complexity of health research, data, and policy and make it meaningful to the people it most affects? In this course, students will collaborate with a local public health organization to develop communication materials that help bridge gaps left by cuts to public health funding. Together, we will explore how public writing—such as infographics, social media campaigns, posters, or other community-facing materials—can make vital information accessible, usable, and impactful. This course is especially valuable for public health majors who want to expand beyond quantitative methods to develop qualitative, people-centered skills: crafting messages that reach real audiences, addressing issues of equity and access, and practicing communication as a form of public care. By the end of the semester, students will not only gain practical experience in multimodal communication but also learn how writing can serve as a critical tool in promoting health and wellbeing. All first-year students who have taken Reintro and all students at the sophomore level or above are welcome.

AS.230.335 (01) Medical Humanitarianism TTh 1:30PM - 2:45PM Naveh Benjamin, Ilil Shaffer 304 Spring 2026
  • Description: 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.

We will discuss the nature of “evidence” and how it is used by various entities and actors to advance their interests, sometimes obscuring the truth. Students will write reflections on course materials, participate in classroom discussion, and undertake independent and group projects.

AS.145.330 (01) Health Care Activism in Baltimore and Beyond MW 1:30PM - 2:45PM Puglionesi, Alicia G Gilman 400 Fall 2026
  • Description: National struggles over the right to health care, and over the health needs of marginalized groups, have taken distinctive forms in Baltimore City during the past century. The renowned Johns Hopkins University came to symbolize, for many residents, the power of medicine both to heal and to harm – and the need for community action. This course delves into the archives of local institutions to understand the work of activists and advocates who connected health, medicine, and social justice. We focus on specific sites, from the segregated wards of Johns Hopkins to the People’s Free Medical Clinic on Greenmount Avenue, where demands for equity changed the city's health care landscape. Through interdisciplinary readings and conversations with local organizers, we consider how historical memory can serve as a creative resource for the art and politics of the present.
