Children's Health and the Environment
(3-0-0)
The course addresses growing evidence on the role of early life environmental exposures (biological, physical, chemical and social) as crucial determinants of childhood and adult conditions like impaired development, asthma, or cancer. Despite the growing interest in potential health risks of environmental concerns in Canada, there are insufficient training opportunities for Children, Health and the Environment. The interdisciplinary nature of this course aims to attract students from multiple disciplines to fulfill the need for formal training around a current topic with increasing demands and public awareness. This year, the course will focus on Climate Change and Air Pollution. Students will gain skills in knowledge translation/mobilization using an online multimedia mapping platform to help tell inspiring, immersive stories by combining text, interactive maps, and other digital content.
