HIST211

This course provides a long-term historical perspective on health and medicine in global history. Focusing on both significant historical transformations and specific case studies that are chronologically and geographically varied, we will use historical methods to explore primary source documents reflecting multiple perspectives on health and medicine, including diverse healers, patients, and other knowledge makers throughout the past. We will investigate the relationship between power and knowledge construction about health and the body, including the historical development of inequalities within the health system.
