H325 Histories of Medicine

3 credit(s)
The historical development of what is today called “modern medicine” serves the disciplinary purposes of both history and the health humanities. This course will address the impact of disease and medicine on human history, as well as human responses to that impact. While medical knowledge has been homogenized in the contemporary world around westernized models of medicine, this course also uses a case-study approach to examine the heterogenous knowledge and experience of illness and medical treatment around the globe and in particular locales. It will explore the assumptions about human nature that have influenced perceptions of health and disease, illness and wellness. Also offered as HH325 .
