The goal of this course is to use the concept of the Man-Made Human to understand changing notions of humanity and human nature throughout history. Through a combination of literary texts and films we will look at man’s place in nature as well as the changing role of science in society.
DISCOVER HOPKINS HEALTH STUDIES: Medicine, Media, Markets & Motherhood
- Session II: July 12 - 25
Course Number: AS 360.118.02 (1 credit)
Instructor: Caitlin Cross-Barnet
Cost: $2055
Description: Health care access and information are not equally distributed in our society. Race, gender and class influence people’s health and the health care they receive. These social factors also the influence the way people perceive what health is and what it means to obtain appropriate health care. Using infant feeding as a microcosm of health issues in society, this class will examine economic, social, and medical differences in perception and experience among varying race, class, and gender groups. We will look at infant feeding research in public health, medicine, and sociology as well as examine how breastfeeding and formula feeding are depicted in fiction, television shows, advertising, and other media. The class will culminate in a website analysis students will conduct using insights gained from class readings and materials.
