The goal of this introductory course is for students to equip themselves with the fundamental knowledge base necessary to critically re-examine systemic sources of health inequities, and challenge traditional public health models of addressing them. The course is intended for students with little to no prior exposure to frameworks such as Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality Theory; or little to no personal/lived experience with systems of oppression (i.e. belonging to one or more historically oppressed groups). Students who feel that they already have strong foundational knowledge around systems of oppression and anti-oppressive public health practices and approaches are encouraged to take MC776: Advanced Practice and Research Methods for Public Health Equity. Please consult the instructor if you're unsure of which course to take.
