 HLTH 230-1 Health and Humanities | Eagle, Chris (1 TA needed) 

Online – Monday, only synchronous 1:00pm – 2:15pm, all other course material is asynchronous 

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 increasing medicalization of human experience. 

 

 HLTH 210-1/ANT 231-1 Predictive Health and Society | Lampl, Michelle (1 or 2 TAs needed)

Online – Thursday, only synchronous 1:00pm – 2:15pm, all other course material is asynchronous 

Health impacts virtually every societal element – from medicine to law; economics to faith. It is every individual’s concern, and a topic of consequence in the decisions we make regardless of what professional field we pursue. This course introduces students to the efforts seeking to define health and move the practice of medicine from a reactive, disease-focused system to a proactive health-focused one. Students will have the opportunity to engage in this shift in thinking through the course emphasis on the interconnections between mind, body and spirit. Students will gain a better understanding of healthy human function as well as diet, exercise, behavioral motivation and interpersonal interactions. Multidisciplinary topics include the perspectives of business, law, ethics, humanities, engineering, nursing, religion, public and global health, as well as the sciences.
