TA Position, HLTH 230

I am seeking a new teaching assistant for my Health & Humanities class, which is a required course for all Human Health majors in the Center for the Study of Human Health.  This class will be taught once per week (Wed 11:30-12:45) in person in White Hall.  Responsibilities for the position include: (1) grading three quiz-style exams, along with a short mid-semester essay for approximately 40 students, (2) maintaining all grades on Canvas, (3) holding periodic office hours before major assignments.  First-time TAs will also need to keep up with the readings and ideally attend most of our class sessions.  Class attendance becomes much more flexible in future appointments.  Email expressions of interest to chriseagle [at] emory [dot] edu with a brief summary of your background and research interests in Health along with your resume/CV.    

HLTH 230 COURSE DESCRIPTION: This class explores the role of the Humanities (mainly Literature and Philosophy) in broadening our perspectives on health, illness, and embodiment.  We will examine how literary narratives and metaphor can shape our lived experience of health and illness.  We will also study various philosophical accounts of embodiment, along with recent Humanistic critiques of the expanding medicalization of human experience.
