CHL5113H Position Description -Emergency Posting
Over the past few decades, the reorganization of production and labour markets resulting from economic globalization, widening socio-economic inequities, conflict, natural disasters, environmental degradation and, more recently, climate change have combined to become increasingly significant forces shaping international migratory fluxes.
Migration impacts the health status of those who move and of individuals, communities and entire societies in countries of origin, transit, arrival and resettlement. Given the significance of international migration, it is important to understand the role this phenomenon plays as a social determinant of health, its interactions with other determinants, as well as the implications migration presents in terms of health care delivery and policies.
CHL5113H adopts an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating scholarly work from the fields of public health, the social sciences, law, and human rights to help students achieve the course learning goals.
