About the Epidemics of Injustice Beehiiv newsletter
In an effort to streamline our communications with previous Epidemics of Injustice (E of I) course participants, we have created a Beehiiv newsletter/platform for the course site. This will allow us to communicate more efficiently with past participants and keep everyone in the loop about upcoming course developments.

A reminder about the Epidemics of Injustice Course
Epidemics of Injustice (E of I) is an annual course at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), with lectures free and open to the public. The course prepares public health leaders and community members with the tools to bring about social change and address structural determinants of health.
Epidemics of Injustice is led by the Radical Public Health student group at UIC and sponsored by the Division of Community Health Sciences at the UIC School of Public Health. Please visit the course site HERE to see what last year’s course looked like.
Information about the 2026 course will be shared within the next two months.
A quick survey about the optional E of I 1-credit lab
The E of I planning team is considering adding an additional, optional 1-credit lab to the existing 2-credit E of I course for students who register for the course for credit at UIC. We want your feedback about this!
The 2-credit portion of the E of I course would remain as is -- weekly guest lectures and action labs that are required for students registered for credit and open to community members plus a few assignments for students taking the course for credit. The 1-credit optional lab would be an option for students registered for credit who want more interactive, in-the-community learning opportunities. The 1-credit lab would involve in-person skill building and learning opportunities throughout Chicago in collaboration with community-based organizations and activists.
If you are a current or past UIC student, please consider completing our four-question, anonymous survey to share your feedback.
