Students will acquire geospatial skills and apply them in the context of structural inequity, health disparities, and racial justice. Geospatial skills will be applied to public health problems that continue to demonstrate differences in health exposures, risks, and adverse outcomes for BIPOC living in the US, as well as to contribute to much poorer outcomes in the US than in other high income countries. The main learning objective in the course is to understand the importance of place in the display, analysis, and reporting of health data at local, national, and global scales. Each week, case studies will provide context for the specific ways in which place matters when thinking about public health and health services delivery.
