Abstract

This course surveys the history of medical knowledge and practice from antiquity to the early 21st century. The course will explore a number of ongoing themes: race, bodily difference, and medicine; medicine and the environment; women, gender, and medicine; the history of the body; the history of sexuality; and the close connections between forms of social order and forms of medical knowledge. Data culture level = 0.0.2 (Basic. Data analysis). A separate block of classes will be devoted to the potential of neural networks and generative AI as 1) a key component of modern biomedical innovation and 2) a tool for organizing and conducting research in the field of health humanities.
