LAW 305, SLN: 15813

It is restricted to juniors and seniors, generally, although there are some sophomores with enough of a background in public health, global health or law that would do fine in the class.  Sophomores need permission to take Law 305 (Beth E. Rivin, M.D., M.P.H., brivin@uw.edu).  The schedule is MW 10:30-11:45 in the Law School.

Health disparities are increasingly recognized as both a symptom of social injustice and a threat to our collective future. The course explores health as a human right, focusing on injustices that occur around the world resulting in disease, disability and death.  Using a justice framework, the course will consider social determinants of health and vulnerabilities that exist among populations and sub-populations, such as women, children, people with disabilities or HIV and the poor.  Special attention will be given to low and middle income country health problems and struggles to attain healthy populations.  Students will learn about the Millennium Development Goals, international human rights law, and the pivotal role that law and legal infrastructure play in addressing injustices in health.
