Neuroscience in Health and Disease
Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and networks of nerve cells, or neurons, that travel throughout the body. Although the field of neuroscience is relatively new, being recognized only in recent decades as a formal discipline, it is growing and expanding at a very rapid rate. The rapid growth of neuroscience and the pace of biomedical research make understanding neuroscience valuable for any student interested in biomedical or health sciences. Moreover, because neuroscience integrates biology, chemistry, physics, physiology, and psychology, it provides various avenues of opportunities for students who come from different academic backgrounds or interests.

The Sociology of Health Inequalities
There is arguably no resource more important for social life than good health. The state of a person's health determines whether they can work, go to school, and participate in family and social life. However, the risk of developing and dying from particular diseases is not equally distributed within countries, or across countries, around the globe. This course introduces concepts, theories, and methods for understanding how social factors influence the distribution of health and illness. We will examine trends in global health inequality and investigate how factors such as race, gender, occupation, and migration affect health. We will think critically about social factors as risk factors for poor health and discuss the implications for health policy and practice in both high and low-and-middle-income countries.
