| Course Title: Topics in Politics: 'Politics of Health' |
| Start Date: 01/24/2022 End Date: 05/09/2022 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2022 |
| Description: We center "health" as a critical concept in political theory and practice. "Health" has emerged as a social value of many Western democracies, especially with advancements in medical science, and often refers to a healthy society or debate. Health can be a moral good or a resource to pursue and receive state support for. But health can also be elusive for many people and its meaning can shift based on experience. Nevertheless, health can inform who we think of as a citizen, leader, parent, adult, or even person. We will examine the concept of "health" in all of these and other variants and its impact on democratic societies. |
