Section Title: IAHSL: Doctor and Patients Section Info: The struggle with disease and the related search for a cure has occupied human consciousness throughout time and remains at the forefront of popular awareness, especially in current debates about healthcare. Through the study of literature and other cultural documents, this course explores the centrality of the doctor-patient relationship. Students will watch television shows (such as Grey’s Anatomy and House) and read short stories and novels with the goal of critically analyzing the communication between doctor and patient, noting positive and negative aspects and providing suggestions for improvement. Students will also create fictional case studies of patients with specific diseases, presenting the “standard of care” depending on the historical and cultural context, and analyze the rhetorical strategies of commercials by pharmaceutical companies.

Section Title: IAHSL: Global Epidemics Section Info: IAHSL: Global Epidemics. Ebola, HIV, zombies, and vampires! All share a common lineage in that they've been imagined as viruses that spread around the globe. Looking at popular novels, comic books, documentaries, and films about global epidemics is, thus, a way of thinking about health and wellness as a world phenomenon. As a plus, students will connect their learning on the spread of viral disease worldwide, inside and outside fiction, to an archive of materials assembled by the University Library.
