3 hours Black Women and Health Same as BLST 394 and GWS 394. Black Women and Health: In describing how she started the National Black Women's Health Project, Byllye Avery wrote, What we did first off was to come together as a group of black women to start talking about the realities of our lives. This course introduces students to three interconnected areas. First, following Avery, we consider the realities of Black womens lives locally and globally, with emphasis on health disparities. Second, we explore how Black women have and continue to organize public health projects, seek public health reform, and respond to health disparities and crises, from the HIV and AIDS epidemic to the Covid-19 pandemic. Third, we engage with scholarship and broader works of Black women who contribute knowledge on multiple aspects of health (e.g. mental, physical, spiritual). Taken together, students will learn about factors that impact Black womens health and how Black women work to improve the health and lives of all.
