Description
This graduate course is grounded in an ecological framework that explores three major components: health, community and development. An ecological framework allows us to explore these things in an interconnected manner. Health, defined from a broad social determinants of health view and both the principles and practice of community development will be examined from a theoretical and practical perspective. The phenomenon of ‘development’ will be critically analyzed. May contain alternate delivery sections; refer to the Tuition and Fees page in the University Regulations section of the Calendar.
