[Histmaj] SPR 22 courses: AFRAM

[HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS]

Hello Historians,

Check out these new courses offered from African American Studies for SPR! We would need to review the first course syllabus to check if it might count for history requirements, and the second course likely wouldn't, but they are cool courses!

AFRAM 405A: Health Disparities in Black Women<https://aes.washington.edu/courses/2022/spring/afram/405/a>
SLN: 10177
TTh 4:30pm - 6:20pm
Instructor: LaShawnDa Pittman<https://aes.washington.edu/people/lashawnda-pittman>
5 Credits  I&S / DIV

This course examines how social, economic, environmental, cultural and lifestyle factors contribute to differences in morbidity and mortality in Black women compared to women from other racial and ethnic backgrounds and Black men. We will also examine social determinants of population health among Black women. Through readings, films and class discussion we will trace the history of Black women's health disparities beginning in the Jim Crow era.
