  <Title>Public Health Elective, Spring 2022</Title>
  <Tagline>The Body and Society, SOCY 397</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>
    <div>Update: You will be able to include this class as a Social Dimensions of Health Certificate elective in spring 22.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>As the schedule goes live and you contemplate your spring courses, we wanted to reach out with a new update.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We are lucky enough to have a new post-doctoral scholar in our department who will be offering a brand new special topics elective course this spring! We are very excited about her research and her course, so we wanted to also put it on your radar. Her name is <strong>Dr. Mercedez Dunn</strong> and she is a recent graduate of one of the top Sociology PhD programs in the country. She *also* holds a Master's in Public Health (MPH). The course is called <strong>"The Body and Society" </strong>(listed under special topics, <strong>SOCY 397, description below</strong>). <strong>Attached is a PDF flyer for the course</strong>. It will be offered as a <strong>hybrid T/Th 11:30am-12:45pm</strong> (online asynchronous Tuesdays, in-person Thursdays).</div>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <strong><u>Description of Course (SOCY 397: The Body and Society):</u><br></strong><em>What could a focus on bodies provide about everyday issues? Beyond flesh and bone, bodies are deeply social and symbolic. Bodies are used to justify stigmatization, oppression, and exclusion and differentiate “us” versus “them.” They are also sites of resistance, pleasure, acceptance, and joy. This course invites you to move beyond conventional understandings of how bodies fit (and don’t fit) within social worlds. Together, we will draw on sociological approaches to examine the ways bodies are represented, racialized, medicalized or considered sick, gendered, exploited, and reclaimed.</em><br><br><strong><u>Dr. Dunn's Bio:</u><br></strong>Dr. Mercedez D. Dunn earned her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Michigan. Additionally, she holds a M.P.H. in Health Behavior and Health Education from the University of Michigan and a B.A. in Sociology from Spelman College. Her primary research interests lie at the intersection of gender, race, class, relationships, and sexual health inequity. She is particularly interested in the ways young Black Americans confront intersectional inequities in their sexual lives. Her dissertation, “Respectability, Responsibility, and Resistance: Heterosexual HBCU Women’s Negotiations of Sexuality, Romance, and Sexual Health,” examines how Black collegiate women’s sexual and romantic pursuits both challenge and reinforce existing social hierarchies. Mercedez loves to bake and is a huge fan of all things Disney and true crime. <div><img src="https://dev.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/attachments/news/000/113/610/9c6dc3ff593093879a0eaf172f13589a/Screen%20Shot%202021-10-25%20at%205.11.56%20PM.png" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></div>

          <div class="html-content">Hi everyone, it's Professor Birger. You may have received an email about a job opportunity with Dr. Callaghan-Koru this morning. This is a scam. Please just delete the email. These emails are common scams that circulate on a regular basis. Sometimes they are obvious, but they can also be very convincing. If we have positions available we would post them on this myUMBC page and you would receive them just as you are receiving this email. If you are new to the program or the university, click through this email to see what the site looks like. You may also receive emails through the Career Center, but those will also be posted on their website. It's always a good idea to go to the website independent of the email when you want to double check. How do you know this email is really from me? A scammer would not ask you to follow us @umbcpublichealth on Instagram! :)</div>
