Comments
ONLINE COURSE. This course highlights the intersection of power, processes of globalization, and current health policy debates in the U.S. Students will gain a better understanding of the many actors, structures, and institutions that play a role in creating health policy, as well as the political communication surrounding these discourses are both global and domestic levels. We will examine the development of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), specific state responses to COVID-19, and examine public data on trends in health disparities. The course incorporates political, gendered, racial and rights-related movements to advance health care at domestic levels. Overall, the course links global, institutional norms and domestic welfare policies through a power lens, giving students a deeper theoretical and methodological understanding of social policy in contemporary global contexts. Students will be able to gain a better sense of policy and processes of globalization in this critical time of re-imagining and re-shaping political structures. close
