Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.
The historic and current mission of the College of Human Ecology is to improve human life. This course will introduce students to the social, historical, economic, and political structures that create barriers to people being able to live good lives. In an effort to seek positive solutions, this course takes an interdisciplinary approach to examine the impact of racism and other forms of injustice, and identifies factors that confer protection from the impact of these forces, as well as structures that facilitate justice and support human thriving. With a focus on health, nutrition, design, and human development, and within the framework of the social-ecological model, the course will explore how social systems influence how people interact with their environments in different contexts and across the lifespan.
