This course is designed to introduce students to sociological and other interdisciplinary approaches to how race and racism are defined, employed, and contextualized in health and medicine. Though we will cover an array of theoretical perspectives regarding race and its impact on health, the core theoretical underpinnings of this course are rooted in the racialization process. The contemporary readings address four themes: theoretical and methodological perspectives of race, racism, and health, social processes and the racialization of health, health inequities across the life course, and institutional pursuits of health equity. We examine the importance of intersecting identities throughout the course.
