Essentials of Health Justice: Law, Policy, and Structural Change, Second Edition explores the historical, structural, and legal underpinnings of racial, ethnic, gender-based, and ableist inequities in health, and provides a framework for students to consider how and why health inequity is tied to the ways that laws are structured and enforced. Additionally, it offers an analysis of potential solutions and posits how the law may be used as a tool to remedy injustice.
The Second Edition has been expanded to make it more suitable for use in a full semester course. For more information, including a sample syllabus, see the links below.
