The Medical Humanities constitute a growing field of scholarship productive of powerful, innovative analyses of health care issues today. The chief educational aims of this course are to explore the foundations of the field and teach analytical skills that enable students to address questions such as: * Does studying the humanities make us more humane?
* How are the humanities different from the sciences? What new angles do they offer on old ethical dilemmas?
* What is health? What is illness?
* What kind of evidence about illness does literature provide?
* What is narrative and how embedded are narrative ways of thought in health care?
Students who take this course will come away from it with a strong sense of how a variety of humanities disciplines conceive of health and illness and of the contributions these can make to healthcare. The disciplines involved include Philosophy, Literature, Film, Psychiatry, Art History and Nursing.
