LGBT Health course in the Spring 2014 semester-open seats!
NEW Spring Course: LGBT Health
Weds, 10:00 a.m. -12:45 p.m.
In response to student requests, Professor Uli Boehmer is offering a new 4-credit course: SB760: LGBT Health. In this course, students will examine the health of minority populations who are marginalized due to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Students will identify and practice techniques for measuring LGBT populations as well as ways to better recognize the assets that are found within these communities. Course readings, class lectures, and exercises will be used throughout the course to analyze and discuss the micro and macro determinants of LGBT populations’ health. Students will build skills by utilizing secondary data, performing a content analysis, conducting a key informant interview, and by producing a final paper, which analyzes the literature on a LGBT health topic of their choice for the purpose of proposing next steps in research or program development for the LGBT community.
