ANTY 126 - Anthropology and Global Health. 3 Credits.

Offered intermittently, Mountain Campus, Face to face. This course will examine a set of global health problems rooted in rapidly changing social structures, cultural beliefs and practices, and environmental and biological realities that transcend geopolitical and other imagined boundaries. Students will explore case studies (addressing Ebola, tuberculosis, mental illness, and other topics) and a multidisciplinary literature (including anthropology, epidemiology, history, and biomedicine) centering on how biosocial perspectives might provide a foundation to improve health and well-being on a global level.
