CLARKSVILLE, TN – Beginning this fall, Austin Peay State University students will have the opportunity to pursue an interdisciplinary health and social justice certificate. This initiative is a collaboration among the APSU departments of sociology, psychological science and counseling, and health and human performance at Austin Peay.
“There is good data that illustrates that our health is affected by our race, class and sexual identity (among other things); this course will explore how structural injustices impact our health outcomes,” Dr. Jonniann Butterfield, chair of the Department of Sociology, said. “I think that this certificate is really something interesting that Austin Peay is offering that I don’t know that any other school in Tennessee is doing.”
