This course explores how people have thought about bodies, illness, and medical treatment over the last several centuries, specifically in the western and Middle Eastern contexts. By investigating the origins of different medical epistemologies, we highlight both the development and spread of Western medicine. In the Middle Eastern context, we will analyze native concepts of health and healing, pandemics and disease during the colonial era, the proliferation of medical disciplines during the nineteenth century, and the professionalization (as well as privatization) of health care in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Prerequisite: One 100-level history course.
