HIST 2233 — The History of Medicine in North America
4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureNUpath DDNUpath ICusually offered: springtypical days: M/WBostonTraditional
Surveys the history of medicine in what is now the United States between the arrival of European explorers in the 16th century and the end of World War II. Introduces exemplary moments in the history of medicine as it is practiced today, and examines how these histories connect to the experience of the dispossessed, the enslaved, and the economically and culturally marginalized in American history. Encourages students to consider how the history of medicine has been written both by historians and practitioners and to see this history not only as a series of events, places, and people but as a method for opening up American history more broadly.
