Professor Stolzenberg, TR 3:10–4:30What does it mean to understand nature in modern ways? This course will examine the epoch-making transformations of ideas about nature and knowledge during the age of Copernicus, Galileo, Harvey and Newton. It will treat the intellectual culture of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, looking closely at source materials from this period, and will explore issues of scientific methodology, the development of scientific institutions, the role of religion in the study of nature, and the relationship between science and technology.
New Course: Health and Medicine in a Global Context
(a new course in Winter 09 in medical anthropology and science &technology studies)
ANT 198 (CRN: 22102) and STS 198 (CRN: 54345)
Instructor: Joseph Dumit, Meeting Times: TR 1340-1500 OLSON 251
This course will survey recent works in medical anthropology and the
STS of medicine dealing with global health issues such as AIDS,
pandemics, clinical trials, tuberculosis, cultural differences in
illnesses, diabetes, organ trafficking, medical technology and
delivery, illness narratives, and others. We will be reading the
community book, Mountains beyond Mountains and an ethnography by Paul
Farmer as part of the class.
It should be a four-credit course with letter grades (I am applying
for a grading variance for this). I am also applying to make this an
official course in the future.
