About
This course examines war as a critical and often overlooked social determinant of health, exploring how armed conflict shapes long-term physical, psychological, social, and intergenerational outcomes. Students will analyze how war disrupts systems such as healthcare, housing, and education, and how these disruptions persist across displacement, resettlement, and post-conflict contexts. The course connects global health frameworks with social work practice, emphasizing trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and policy-oriented approaches. It prepares students to critically engage with international institutions and advocate for recognition of war- related trauma as a structural health inequity.
