Program Description:

SIT Study Abroad: India: Public Health, Gender, & Sexuality

View Program Apply Now Request Info

India has a long and complex history of interventions in reproductive and sexual healthcare. Globalization, neoliberalism, and rapid societal changes are changing how India's public health institutions approach the reproductive health of women and sexual minorities. Through classroom sessions and field visits in New Delhi, you will learn how reproductive epidemiology shapes healthcare in rural and urban areas. By engaging with advocacy groups in Goa, the Himalayas, Kerala, and Maharashtra, you will explore approaches to inclusive and accessible reproductive and sexual healthcare in India.

Please visit the SIT Study Abroad website for details on the program highlights and details of coursework, educational excursions, and housing.

HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT

"I wanted a program that pushed me outside of my comfort zone and was not something I ever could have experienced in a classroom. This semester did that and more. I learned about healthcare practices and policy in India through an experiential-based model, doing workshops at long-functioning NGOs and speaking with doctors, midwives, and community health workers at District Hospitals and Community Health Centers; I spoke with people from the WHO and with Indian government officials; I led an independent study project by myself in rural Uttar Pradesh on maternal health access and outcomes. This program impacted my approach to my classes, education, and goals for a future career in healthcare back in the states, and led me to get a Fulbright-Nehru fellowship continuing public health research with connections I made during my independent study on the program."
