Developing a Social Justice–Informed Curriculum for Public Health and Medicine

Year: 2025

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: The field of public health does not currently hold one definition of social justice. This chapter offers a definition of social justice in public health that can serve as an anchor for the emerging theories and frameworks around power and privilege. This definition recognizes the many definitions found across the field and models how faculty can orient toward this definition through their curricular design and implementation. The chapter then discusses the application of this definition and its core principles to curriculum and course design, highlighting one case study: a concentration in social justice at the Yale School of Public Health.
