SOC 333 - Sociology of Health and Illness

(3 credits)

Who gets sick, who gets treatment, and what gets defined as sickness are all at least in part socially determined. This course will explore the social factors that contribute to health and illness, the social construction of health and illness, the organization of medical institutions, and the distribution of medical care within society. Prerequisite: SOC 150 - Introduction to Sociology. Grade only. Offered occasionally.
