CHL5825H: Black Resistance and Health: Interventions and Social Change

This course will examine how Black communities have resisted the impact of colonialism, racism, and other determinants of health. Specifically, this course will firstly examine pre-colonial African/Black Indigenous health practices, and the ways in which Black communities have created interventions to change the historical/herstorical and contemporary health impacts of the transatlantic slave trade, and the compounded effects of multiple social determinants of health. This course will showcase Canadian and transnational case examples looking at multi-level interventions.

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
