A number of devastating diseases will be considered, among them tuberculosis, cholera, syphilis, hepatitis, polio, and AIDS, along with their effect on city life. The social construction of disease and the changing cultural meanings of different diseases will be dealt with. Special emphasis will be placed on the role of stigma and discrimination in how society reacts to those who have a disease.

  • URBST 737: U.S. Health System.

    3.00 Credits
    CUNY Queens College

    This course describes and analyzes health care delivery and financing in the US using concepts and data from sociology, economics, history, philosophy and political science. It begins with the history of American medical practice and education, tracing the ways in which scientific ideas, technological innovation and the politics of professional competition shaped the current U.S. health care system. Next, the patterns of illness in the U.S. population are described in relation to the distribution of health care resources and other social and economic resources. Issues of health services access, quality, financing and cost are discussed, including the ethics of resource distribution. The U.S. health care system is then compared to the systems in Canada, Japan and several European countries. The recent history of health care reform in the U.S. is analyzed and students engage in a debate over current and future policy options.

  • URBST 738: Emerging Diseases and Public Policy.

    3.00 Credits
    CUNY Queens College

    This course deals with the problem of "Emerging Diseases" and the policy implications that they entail. Emerging diseases are broadly defined to include (1) new diseases that have not been seen before (e.g., HIV, SARS, Lyme); (2) diseases that are spreading into geographic areas from which they have been absent (e.g., Dengue Fever and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever), and (3) older diseases that were in significant decline but have now reversed direction (e.g. tuberculosis itself, and also in its antibiotic resistant form) and pose a major threat to the public¿s health. The course emphasizes the social causation of infectious disease (i.e., the political, economic, social and cultural practices that inadvertently favor the emergence of disease) and the social construction of disease (i.e., how diseases and their victims are perceived, and how that helps or hinders measured aimed at controlling them). The course entails reading both theoretical and descriptive material and emphasizes learning a body of factual material.
