This interdepartmental, interdisciplinary course will offer the chance to analyze ways by which diverse constructs of gender influence public health research and practice. Using different examples each week, we will focus on how gender contributes to classifying, surveying, understanding and intervening on population distributions of health, disease, and well-being of women and gender minorities. Discussion of these examples will draw on different disciplines, conceptual frameworks, and methodological approaches (both quantitative and qualitative). Instead of writing essays or making powerpoints we will use story-mapping as a qualitative tool to make narratives around gender and health.
