Introduction to Critical Issues in Caribbean Health

Exploring a new theme each year, this course looks at the intersection of STEM fields and Caribbean Studies, showing how thinking critically about the historical, social, political, epistemic or economic stakes involved in Caribbean Health, brings fresh insights to the design, analysis and social impact of health policy. Themes include: the social and political determinants of health, post/pandemic health policy making, access to medicine and medical technologies, digital technologies, climate change, infectious and or chronic diseases, reproductive health, mental health, ageing and disabilities.
