AFRICAST 151B: Plagues and Politics: Critical Links Between Politics, Economics, and Infectious Diseases in Africa
Infectious diseases have long been associated with regions of poverty and political instability; factors such as international travel, bioterrorism, and global markets may affect the health and security of all nations. Exploration of the complex interactions among politics, economics, and infectious diseases. How do infectious diseases impact the policies and economic growth of a country? How do governmental policies and economic investments influence the proliferation, control, and outcomes of these diseases? Related themes include: the tension between the economic health of a community and the personal health of citizens; the role of the individual versus the government in taking responsibility for health and health-related actions; and the extent to which rich countries can and should help poor countries combat preventable illnesses. Course is part of a collaborative effort among the Stanford Program on International and Crosscultural Education (SPICE), Center for African Studies, Program in Human Biology, School of Education, and School of Medicine to create infectious disease curriculum materials for U.S. high schools. Students contribute to the curriculum development by performing research and developing multimedia projects.
