Student experience

the class

Explore national and international health projects aimed to address infectious disease epidemics in the context of changing ideas about human difference, the shifting economic and socio-political dimensions of international health, and the history of migration. Using a range of sources from historical documents, social science, films, and biomedical research, explore circumstances linking ideas about "alien" people (a term historically used to talk about enslaved people, Native Americans, minorities, and immigrants), and "plagues." Examine the relationship between ideas about disease and migration, risk factors and disease patterns related to migration, migrant populations' access to health-care resources, perceived threats of infectious diseases related to migrant populations and the ways such threats have shaped medical theories, and the institutional landscape of global health.
