Expanded Course Description
| This class explores crucial questions about health, well-being, medicine, and social inquality in the twenty-first century. Through a combination of lecture and small-class discussion, as well as on-line forums, students will examine definitions of health and well-being; the implications of new genetic and reproductive technologies;
disparities in global burdens of disease; the relationship among health, illness, and narrative; and gendered and cultural differences in the experiences of illness and the practices of health care and medicine. The course defines health broadly as not just the absence of illness but as “well-being,” which includes access to secure food sources, clean water, medical care, employment, self-determination, and strong communities. |
