MHEO 450 Environmental Health & Justice
This course examines the interdependencies and interrelationships of people with the natural and built environment, focusing on population health consequences. Through the analysis of detailed case studies, students examine pressing environmental health challenges, including climate change, water and air pollution, food quality and scarcity, toxins, occupational hazards, and waste production. Students study how social determinants such as poverty and inequality may exacerbate such concerns. Environmental justice serves as a guiding framework as students analyze the impact and potential of policy frameworks.
