Class Description:
Health care is a fundamental right, but access to it is not shared evenly by all. This course focuses first on differences in health policy around the world, and how such policies affect women's health and treatment. It then explores how wealth, poverty, and culture affect women's health in different communities. Women are taking an active role in shaping healthy societies; the final portion of the course looks at the goals and successes of women's movements in this area.

Class Description:
Welcome to the Climate Change: Causes, Effects & Solutions! Today, media often carry headlines warning the public of the dangers of human-induced global climate change. New signs of global warming, such as retreating mountain glaciers and shrinking Arctic Ocean ice cover, are reported. At the same time there are claims and accusations that global warming is just a hoax. On the socio-political front too, there are conflicting positions about what needs to be done if anything about global climate change. Even amongst those who accept that global warming is occurring, there is little consensus about how to mitigate the human impacts and at what cost. In this course, we will examine global warming from a social science perspective. The goal of the politics portion of the course is to identify our options for lessening the risks posed by climate change, in particular by reducing our emissions of greenhouse-effect gasses, and to examine the social and cultural barriers against and pathways toward accomplishing such counter-measures.
