Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Georgetown University/Race, Gender, and Medicine (Spring 2024)

This course explores topics, questions, and debates in relation to how power relations impact the history and implementation of medical constructs and labels, even shaping (and being shaped by) notions of Race and Gender. We explore, thus, some of the origins of medicalization as a form of oppression as well as some of the origins of health inequities. Students contribute to articles that touch on topics that we address.
