GPH 2700 Introduction to Planetary Health: The Covid-19 Pandemic
This course is an introduction to the field of planetary health -- an emerging framework for understanding the linkages between human health and the state of ecosystems. We will use the Covid-19 pandemic as an example, looking at the origins, spread, and subsequent response to the outbreak. We will use relevant reports, videos and articles, and students will participate in discussion and Q&A sessions. This course uses the platforms Moodle, Google Suite, and Zoom and is a blend of four synchronous sessions and asynchronous learning. Students need reliable internet access. Recommended for new and returning students.
