INTL-3316 Gender, Race and Healthcare in Contemporary Cuba

This course explores the historical changes that have labeled Cuba as an island "lost in time" by focusing on three topics that are crucial for Cuba's global acknowledgement: gender, race and healthcare. These topics are deeply interrelated and in constant exchange with Cuba's economy and politics, as women and LGBT communities challenge their social participation, Afro-Cubans claim their space, and healthcare becomes threatened due to Cuba's slow movement to globalization. (Offered every other year.) Prerequisites: SPAN 2301 and Consent of Instructor
