Course Catalog Description:
Health care is a fundamental right, but access to it is not shared evenly by all. This course considers women's and men's health needs, and how health systems assign priority to those needs. The course also covers how differences in health policy, national medical systems, levels of wealth, and cultural contexts around the world affect women's health and treatment and their experiences of wellness and illness. Women are taking an active role in shaping healthy societies. The final portion of this course looks at the goals and successes of women's movements in the health sphere. Throughout the course, there will be an emphasis on how sociological approaches to health differ from medical or epidemiological approaches, the advantages of the sociological approaches, and the respective advantages and disadvantages of qualitative versus quantitative approaches to studying women's health. Pre-req: Soc majors and minors must register A-F; Soc 1001 recommended.

Class Description:

This course takes a sociological approach to gender, health and illness. We begin by considering the respective advantages of qualitative versus quantitative approaches to studying women's health. We then address the questions of the major health differences between men and women, how they vary around the world, and why they exist. We also consider how differences in national medical systems affect women's health.
