CHL5102H: Social and Political Forces in Health

The underlying premise of this course is that health care systems do not develop in a vacuum, that is, they can only be understood in terms of the (always) historically contingent social, political, and economic context within which they emerge and exist. In other words, health care systems are social systems within larger social systems. The purpose of the course is to explore theoretically some of the major factors and forces influencing the development and nature of health care systems.

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.
