This course examines marginalized populations through various critical perspectives, namely medical anthropology, feminism, and political-economy theory. Students will develop an understanding of how macro (i.e., gender, race, poverty) and micro (i.e., individual) forces intersect to produce marginality and particular health experiences for people who are relegated to the margins of society.
