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.

Science and Democracy AS.196.302 (01)
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.

Interpersonal Gun Violence: A Public Health Perspective AS.280.470 (01)
Over the last two decades, interpersonal gun violence has led to over 250,000 deaths and more than twice as many injuries. There have been mounting efforts to recognize gun violence as a public health problem; however, it’s a problem that extends beyond loss of life. This seminar-style course will be separated into the following three sections: origins of gun violence, understanding the consequences, and responding to gun violence. Throughout the course students will apply concepts to a case study on the intersection of gun violence and another assigned area (i.e., hospitals, youth, policing) as it impacts Baltimore. This course is not intended to be comprehensive of all forms of interpersonal gun violence, as intimate partner violence, mass shootings, or police-involved violence will not be a primary focus. Priority registration will be given to Public Health Studies majors; other students will be permitted as space allows.

Community Based Learning - Practicum Community Health Care AS.280.399 (01)
This course introduces students to a social structural, justice orientation to public health, with an emphasis on service learning in Baltimore City. Through lectures, class discussions, reflection practices and experiential learning, students will gain an understanding of education, healthcare, housing and other sectors as social determinants of health. The course draws on a social ecological framework and highlights the role of relationships and policies in impacting community resources foundational to health and well-being. Students will choose a community-based organization according to their interests and schedule and, working in teams, complete 45 hours of service-based learning. Grades are based on class participation, completion of a service learning project, group presentation, and papers. Open to Junior Public Health Studies majors and, space permitting, to others upon permission of instructor. This course qualifies as a PHS upper elective; however, it does not satisfy the PHS Applied Experience requirement.
