Forced and voluntary forms of migration are current and challenging issues in an increasingly globalized world. Various crises force people to leave their homelands as refugees. Polarizing social conditions in Central Africa and the Middle East feed into the migration crises we are seeing in the Mediterranean region. Migration has its own demographics which may affect the health of the migrant in many ways, both short and long term. Also multicultural encounters within health care are explored in this course. The migration of health workers redistributes skilled health professionals and contributes to health-related disparities. The course analyses the dynamics of the global health work crisis and investigates mitigation strategies, such as skills transfer and local capacity building.

The course is offered every other year.

This course is intended for students to think critically about the challenges that governments encounter in regulating tobacco products that generate tax revenue, but incur medical costs for treating chronic illness. The course is taught from an interdisciplinary perspective with a strong emphasis on the role that public health science has played in shaping tobacco control policy. The course examines the supply and demand for tobacco from the perspectives of the industry and consumer, respectively. As such, the focal point is the epidemiologic triad connecting the agent (tobacco product), host (tobacco user), and environment (e.g., tobacco marketing) to the vector (tobacco industry).Contemporary topics include tobacco harm reduction and tobacco endgame strategies. The course culminates in a group project illustrating the role of various parties involved in the production of tobacco, distribution, marketing, policymaking, regulation, litigation, public health and advocacy.

The course teacher is UTA Visiting Professor David Timberlake.
