JS 316 - Medicine, Environment, and the Body


What is a body? How does it interface with the world? And what happens when that body-or the world around it-is suffering? In this course, we examine what healers, doctors, activists and scholars of medicine say about the relationship between, and politics of, human bodies and natural environments.
