Expanded Course Description

This course is designed as an introduction to the broad field of medical sociology and the sociology of health and illness. Medical sociology concerns itself both with sociological processes that shape the medical system and with the ways in with the social world shapes health outcomes (and inequalities) for populations. In this course we will explore key topics and theories in the field, including the ways in which the medical system and the experiences of individuals seeking or receiving care are socially and culturally contingent. Students will be encouraged to attain a deeper understanding for how racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and gender hierarchies intersect and “get under the skin.”
