Health, Health Care, and Humanities
Examine the intersections of the humanities with health, illness, and health care and shed new light on health and health care inequities, the role of narrative, and other representational forms in the illness experience. Explore the relationships between health, healing, and culture; the history of pandemics; and social constructions of ability and disability. Liberal Arts Honors 350 (Topic: Hlth/Hlth Care/Humanities) and 351V may not both be counted. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
