Course Description: This course is a collaborative, intensive examination of the growing problem of extreme heat for global health and urban environmental justice.  Focused on a "social autopsy" of the London heat wave of 2022, it will include a spring break visit to London, hosted at King's College London, where students will visit key sites of heat-related vulnerability and learn from architects, planners, public health experts, and community actors about the heat wave, its uneven impact, and efforts to mitigate the harm of future climate-related disasters.

This course counts as an elective on the medical anthropology track of the Anthropology major or minor.

The course counts toward the 120 credits that Cornell undergraduate students must earn for graduation. Depending on a student's college, the courses may also fulfill other requirements for electives, distribution requirements, or majors.
