ABOUT THE COURSE:This important course on _Women's Health and Nutrition_ offers an interdisciplinary and feminist exploration of women’s health and wellbeing throughout the whole span of their lives, addressing the topic from social, cultural, economic, and policy perspectives. Drawing on women’s studies, public health, and intersectionality, the course critically examines issues including reproductive health, mental health, nutrition, work, violence, and the particular ways in which emerging challenges such as climate change and digital health have additional implications for women’s welfare. The course foregrounds women’s agency, rights, and lived experiences, with a strong focus on the Indian context and on marginalized communities. This 12-week open online course is especially relevant for learners across social sciences, biomedical sciences, and health practitioners, and for activists and policymakers alike.
