BSE 708

Fall 2023 All Classes

All Classes
Social Medicine and the Normative Body

Credit: 2 hours.

Examines the intersection of intergenerational, socio-historical depictions, and articulations of the standardized human body or the normalized body and how its legitimization shaped the practice of medicine and public health. Particular attention will be placed on gendered, abled, racialized, cognitive, and/or socio-economic dichotomies that become attached to the normalized body and sifted through inequitable medical practices and socio-medical stigma. An examination of these histories and historiographies relative to contemporary society will help students better assess the processes by which medical inequities have been erroneously validated and constructed.

No graduate credit. 2 professional hours. Approved for S/U grading only. Prerequisite: Restricted to students enrolled in the Carle Illinois College of Medicine.
