CRIS 265. Topics in Critical Identity Studies: Bodies and Care: Health Inequities in the U.S. (.5). This course will examine case studies of conventional medicine and how different types of bodies are offered or not offered adequate or effective medical care. How have communities at the social margins been treated within the 20th or 21st medical system? What factors account for care differentials? Where might restorative interventions occur within the current care system? Together we will examine ways to understand the legacies of conventual medicine as well as transformative interventions that seek to change the future of medicine. May be repeated for credit if topic is different. The 2A, 3B, and 5T domained versions of this course are, respectively, Critical Identity Studies 266, 267, and 268.
