the bomb for peaceful applications. We will pay particular attention
to the parallel histories of the nuclear age in the US and the former USSR, including the rise of atomic cities, atomic
testing, and the bomb’s environmental legacy. |

HISTORY OF CHINESE MEDICINE (3) Hanson Limit 25 How did Chinese conceptualize the
human body, health and disease over the past 2,000 years? How
did these concepts change over time and differ according to region?
Why do gender, class, and place matter? Who practiced medicine
in China, what did they practice, where, and how
do we know what we know about them? These are some of the questions
students will engage by discussing the most recent historical,
anthropological, and philosophical scholarship on the history
of medicine in China and reading a wide
range of primary sources on Chinese medicine in English translation.
