Community Health and the Common Good asks the question; What makes a healthy community? Students will consider factors such as 1) economic stability, 2) education level, 3) the social and community context, 4) access to health care, 5) and one’s neighborhood and built environment. This seminar will engage the intersections between health and justice and between un-health and poverty. Students who are interested in integrating their own fields of study with questions like these will find this course to be both challenging and enlightening. The fall break immersion will take place in Detroit and Flint, Michigan.
