Description: This course will comprise the initial lectures and discussion of Epid 555, and we are requesting that this material be separated into a new one-credit course to be offered at the beginning of MPH training. The material is introductory, and explores the diverse health impacts of economic, environmental, and cultural globalization. The transnational movement of people, technologies, capital, commodities, toxins, pathogens, ideologies and treatments are affecting people's well-being through many pathways. The changing nature of global power relations and the shifting purvey of international organizations have also had significant health implications. Introductory lectures and discussion of readings will explore various topics related to these issues.
