Challenges in Health and Aging
Description
This course examines how biological, psychological, and social theoretical perspectives differentially explain the etiology, occurrence, and response to challenges related to health and aging, including social determinants of health, physical illness, mental illness, substance abuse, economic adversity, and family and community connectedness. Specific attention is paid to the disparate experiences of Indigenous Peoples and equity-seeking groups such as Francophone communities, and African, Caribbean, and Black communities. Both the impact of these challenges and strategies responding to these challenges will be appraised and critically analyzed.
