E393 Health Narratives3 credit(s)
This course promotes skills and explores issues central to experiences of health by undertaking literary investigations of health-oriented narratives (including fiction, poetry, and memoir). Students will develop their ability to comprehend and to analyze (in other words to listen); they will examine these narratives from multiple perspectives (as health experiences involve multiple parties and views); they will consider what “health” and “healthy” mean and how such concepts are determined; and they will advance their communication skills through oral and written practice. In keeping with a humanities emphasis and the university’s Lasallian, Catholic mission, the course’s approach is in turn designed to allow for the cultivation of sympathy and empathy as well as self-reflection for the sake of humane health experiences in the lives of students and those with whom they will interact. Also offered as HH393 .
