| Course Description | This course is the second part of a two-semester seminar that will essay a selective genealogy of the major theoretical traditions under girding contemporary practice in the sociomedical sciences. The ongoing focus of the seminar in the spring semester - like the historical review in the fall - will be guided by the framing interests and signature emphases of the department: the political economy of public health, globalization and marginalization, urban environs in transformation, social structures and axes of inequality, disparities in morbidity and mortality, agency and identity. The overall aim is to familiarize students with the relevant interpretive/analytic traditions, provide a rehearsal stage for testing out particular tools and frameworks in compare and contrast exercises, and build the theoretical foundations that will enable them to critically assess contemporary work in the field. In this second part of the sequence, greater emphasis will be given to research by faculty members in the department, as well as by others working in related frameworks. Both theoretical and methodological approaches to the sociomedical sciences will be examined in seeking to develop an overview of contemporary debates in the field. Close reading, class discussion, and reflective writing will be the practical means we employ to get there. |
