Instructor:  Peter Schnall

The impact of work on psychological and physical health, including cardiovascular disease, is explored in the context of newly emerging research. The focus is on work organization, psychosocial stressors, measurement (including hands-on experience), contextual factors (gender, ethnicity, social class), and how work stressors can be ameliorated. The class will have 10 three-hour sessions and will meet weekly.
