Global History of Health Syllabus Fall 2016

2016

This is the syllabus for my advanced undergraduate class, "Global History of Health." First taught in 2009 with my former colleague, Rachel Scott (now of DePaul University), this course combines the analytical perspectives of genetics, paleopathology, and documentary history to chart the origins, proliferation, globalization, and (to varying degrees) identification and control of eight major globally distributed diseases. Those diseases are: malaria, tuberculosis, smallpox, plague, leprosy, syphilis, cholera, and HIV/AIDS. A separate file posted here on Academia.edu (also under my "Global Health - Teaching Documents" section) is a chart outlining the eight diseases and major elements of their histories. Feel free to contact me if you want additional information on any of the topics I address here. My e-mail is: monica.h.green@gmail.com. (NOTE: As noted above, this course was developed jointly with my former colleague in bioarchaeology. The course used to be taught cross-listed with courses in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at ASU. As of 2018, SHESC terminated its affiliation with me.)

COM 301: Navigating Information Networks - Winter 2017

Description: This class is designed to provide students with a general understanding of social scientific research in digitally mediated spaces and using both traditional and digital methods. In other words, how do we study digital communication (and life around us)? How do we study the things that intrigue us? How do we better understand reality? And how can we use digital tools to better understand these things? Organization: Over the course of the quarter, we will answer these questions from both a theoretical and an applied perspective. The course is held in a workshop manner, alternating between the dissemination of concepts and ideas and the application of those concepts and ideas.
