Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
This course builds on the prerequisite course SBS 506 and its critical focus on theories of disease distribution, past and present. Intended for doctoral students (and required of SBS doctoral students), SBS 507 deepens historical and present-day understanding of contemporary mainstream theories of disease distribution and their social epidemiologic alternatives. Pairing 20th and 21st CE historical and contemporary books (not articles!), the course both builds substantive knowledge regarding the content and public health implications of diverse theories of disease distributions while also developing skills in conducting literature searches about and engaging with complex scholarly arguments and discourse.
Course Prerequisites: SBS 506 required.
