		Students will read academic papers covering recent research examining health and economic inequality, and discuss those papers in class with their peers and the professor. Students will also perform two empirical data analysis projects, exploring the themes of health and economic inequality using data. These projects will involve a written analysis that demonstrates critical thinking about what can be learned from the empirical data. These projects will also build skills in reproducible research practices—which are applicable in academia, industry and government work.
