Course Description​

Controversies in Public Health

Public health has saved millions of lives, yet it often provokes deep disagreement about the role of government, personal freedom, and collective responsibility. Using the unique ecosystem of Washington, DC, this course explores key controversies, past and present, that reveal the complex interplay of science, policy, ethics, and culture. Through readings, debates, and DC-based experiences, students will explore the tradeoffs between protecting the public’s health, preserving individual liberty, and overcoming the types of systemic health inequities illustrated by the divide between the Northwest and Southeast quadrants of the city.​​
