ANTH 153: Social, Spatial, and Temporal Patterns of Disease
Units: 4
Introduces key questions, concepts, theories, and methods in spatial epidemiology, drawing on interdisciplinary approaches in anthropology, geography, social, and biomedical sciences. Examines social, temporal, environmental, and geographic predictors of disease, emphasizing data acquisition, visualization, and GIS-based hypothesis testing. Readings and computer labs from modern and past contexts equip students to develop research questions, locate and aggregate disparate data, and conduct spatial-statistical analyses to test hypotheses about differential distribution and experience of disease.
