Provides a practical introduction to campaigning and organizing for public health. Combines experiential learning (through participation in an actual campaign) with traditional learning (online lectures, in-class discussions and readings). Uses case studies to review the history of organizing for public health. Introduces campaign planning and management, discusses the role of research and coalition-building, and explores different types of organizing. Part of a two-term sequence that prepares students to participate in and critically assess public health campaigns to change the policies and structures that set the contexts in which people make their decisions about health.
