Calendar Description / Prerequisite / Co-Requisite
This course examines the interdisciplinary complexity of what constitutes our definition of the healthy child. Students examine cross-cultural definitions of childhood, and learn that to be healthy entails more than a mere absence of disease. Critical inquiry demonstrates that geography, economics, politics, food, social capital, sexuality, gender, mental health, homelessness, disability and media all play an integral role in the lived experiences and health outcomes of children. Prerequisites: AP/SOSC 1801 6.00, AP/SOSC 2110 6.00
