I'm excited to share a special offering of SOCY100: Introduction to Sociology for Spring 2027 that may be of particular interest to students pursuing majors, minors, and careers in health-related fields.
This health-themed section, taught by Professor Taylor Hargrove, introduces students to the sociological study of health, healthcare, medicine, and aging. Students will explore important questions about health disparities, the impact of racism and social inequality on health and aging, and the social barriers that prevent us from creating healthier and more equitable communities.
The course is especially relevant for students interested in public health, medicine, psychology, kinesiology, biological sciences, and other health-related disciplines. It offers a wonderful opportunity for students to connect their interests in health and healthcare with a broader understanding of the social forces that shape health outcomes.
