This course provides students with an introduction to the critical study of global mental health and illness. Through weekly case studies, we will explore how experiences, ideas, and treatment of mental health and illness connect to the values, norms, and power relations at play in responses to mental distress.

Prerequisite(s): Registration in the third or fourth year of the School of Health Studies or the Honours Specialization or Specialization in Global Health Studies at Huron University College.
