BETH 605-01/PHIL 505-02/PHIL 605-03

This is a 1 credit-hour hybrid seminar, with one in-person meeting (February 9, 2024, 9am-4 pm) plus online asynchronous instruction and work. The class views migration and mobility through the lens of health justice, and, in turn, views health justice through the lens of migration and mobility. How is the right to health, or to health care, intertwined with rights to (or limitations on) mobility?  This seminar will challenge students to think about what health justice demands in a world of human mobility.
