• MHHS-M 201 Introduction to Medical Humanities and Health Studies (3 cr.) The proposed new course is a multi- and inter-disciplinary survey course in Medical Humanities & Health Studies with a focus on the contributions of different humanities and social science disciplines to the knowledge base of Western health care and medicine. A very introductory exposure to approximately seven to nine disciplinary perspectives on medicine and health care will be presented by MHHS faculty and guest lecturers representing their respective fields. A team of two faculty members from the MHHS Program will teach and coordinate the course content along comparative themes. They will review the content of the discipline-specific guest lectures in discussions along the lines of health care topics to illuminate the interplay of differing perspectives in understanding health care, and highlight the key characteristics of the traditional liberal arts disciplines represented [please see the attached sample syllabus]. The course will initially be offered twice during the academic year, beginning with Spring semester 2011. One section per semester will be taught with an enrollment cap of 45 students per section (90 per academic year). It is hoped that as the course becomes better known across the IUPUI campus, it will draw additional students from other schools, increasing enrollments not only for the course, but for related upper division liberal arts courses as well.

Barrie’s Peter Pan in order to establish a baseline for the historical treatment of the child as reader and subject.  In light of critical debates stemming from these cornerstones of children’s literature, we will then move on to a study of contemporary authors who adapt traditional themes and storytelling structures in order to re-present issues such as freedom of speech, immigration, racial and gender politics, and environmentalism to child readers.

We will ask: how have Asian religious gurus and products, such as yoga, transformed American religious consciousness and practice?
