Lecture Hour(s): 3
Lecture Hours Schedule Type: Lecture
This course takes a lifecourse approach to examining health equity and healthcare access issues facing people of diverse genders and sexualities. With an emphasis on application, students will explore how social norms and systems impact health equity and healthcare access, and examine “health” itself as a social institution shaped by various dynamics of power and ideas about gender, sexuality, race, class, ability, age, and more. Selected themes may include reproductive justice; end-of-life care; dynamics of care labour; healthcare activism; and racism in Canadian healthcare.

Recommended Preparation: WGST 1172  or any 2000-level WGST course.
