Syllabus:

This course aims to introduce students to demographic and geographical perspectives in the study of population health. It provides students with the theoretical foundation, empirical knowledge, and analytical techniques to unravel the differences between countries in the uneven spread of diseases, deaths and pandemics like HIV/AIDS in the 1980s and more recently COVID-19, their determinants and access to resources. It examines health variations across diverse populations and between individuals differentiated by demographic, social, economic, cultural and political characteristics. There will be a particular focus on population mobility (temporary and permanent) and health. There is a pressing need for a better understanding of the intersections between climate (environmental) change, mobility, and human health to inform policy responses that address the health challenges and needs of migrants and prioritise access to resources and services for vulnerable populations in all countries. While this course focuses on the Australian people, health, and pandemic situations, students will learn about the significant demographic and health issues in different regions, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. The course will examine health, pandemic and disease patterns, causal mechanisms, and different outcomes in diverse populations and discuss the policy and interventions needed to address population and health inequality challenges.
