HLS 480Race and Racism in Public Health and Medicine3

Beginning with the advent of the Trans-Atlantic Slave system to the present, this upper-level seminar examines the material bases for systemic, structural inequalities that shape the production of medical knowledge, distribution of medical services, and public health measures on global, national, and local scales. This course not only covers how race, as well as the intersecting categories of gender, class, sexuality culture, and nation, affects both the unequal distribution of diseases and unequal access to medical treatment, it will also consider the human rights and social justice consequences of these phenomena. It is a seminar in comparative medical and health history that looks at how the intersectionality of race, gender, class, sex, culture, and science have figured prominently in the management of disease and health. The course readings and assignments focus on the health status of “non-white” peoples with particular attention to the persistent disparities that people of color have experienced in health outcomes in the United States and other parts of the world. Of critical concern in this course is the contested question of organized medicine’s status as form of “social control” in modernizing societies. Another interpretive focus is the ways that the organization of medical care has confronted, or failed to confront, social justice in medical treatment and research as well as public health. The recognition of health disparities is itself historically constituted and represents certain cultural as well as socio-economic investment in seeing the gaps between “rich and poor,” “white and black,” as either malleable or intractable. Same as HIS 480 .
