09W: 10A There is an increasing interest in understanding how health and disease are impacted by geographic location. Monitoring epidemics, tracking disease outbreaks, identifying environmental factors that may promote or hinder health, and studying geographic impediments in accessing health care services are important in preventing future illness and achieving wellness in a population. This interdisciplinary course provides an introduction to the principles and methods used to understand health and disease in the geographical context, drawing actual examples from the literature. Concepts presented in lecture and discussions are explored in sessions using a geographic information system (GIS). Learning takes place through lecture and discussion, readings of selected manuscripts, hands-on experience in the GIS lab, assignments, and completion of a term project. Previous course-work in geography or a health-related discipline are recommended, but not required. Dist: TAS . Berke, Shi. 2. Alcohol and Addiction Medicine

09W: 10 Why does an MRI work? What is an X-ray? Is all radiation bad? Is my coffee radioactive after it has been ânukedâ in the microwave? What about my luggage after it has been through an airport? We use a lot of technology which is based on modern physics, including the silicon chip, radar, GPS, lasers, nuclear technologies and many, many other examples. This class starts with a descriptive introduction to a large range of modern physics topics including what is radiation and what is quantum mechanics. We will then describe new technologies which have evolved from these physics principles, taking some of the mystery out of these technologies. Finally, society is affected by these tools, and in some cases even actively debating the use new technologies. For example what should be the roles of MRIs, GPSs and nuclear weapons? As informed members of society, the course will give you some insight into the physics underlying these technologies. Finally we will look at what future technologies may evolve, and what is simply âquantum fictionâ. Dist: TAS . Smith. 4.

09S: 3A This course examines historyâs worst biomedical disasters and societyâs responses; reservoirs and outbreaks of plague in the world today; and its potential as a weapon of bioterrorism. Topics: epidemiology of plague; role of molecular biology in identifying diseases of the past; ecological disasters as precipitating events; effects of demographic collapse on the value of labor and on social relations. Cultural responses: images of St. Sebastian, Islamic martyrdom, Chinese boatburning rituals, Camusâ The Plague. Dist: INT or SOC .

09W: 10A Technology and power have always been intimately intertwined. If technology in general is the means by which human beings effect change beyond the reach of the unadorned body, then this is necessarily also an exercise of power. To control technology is to wield power. In the contemporary world, the relationship between technology and power is of ever-increasing importance. We are living in an era when technology is often used not only to uphold and reinforce existing power relations but also to resist and transform them. From increasingly sophisticated surveillance technologies such as full body scans and networks of webcams to the ease with which capital and thus power flows across increasingly irrelevant national borders to the possibilities for radical participatory democracy opened up by internet technologies to the populist model of knowledge associated with wikis to the deconstruction and reconstruction of the body through technologies such as sex reassignment surgery, the contemporary world is structured through and by the complicated relationships between technology and power. This course aims to provide students with the theoretical vocabulary and critical skills necessary to understand these complex relationships. Readings will include the theories of power of such philosophers as Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Arendt, Foucault, Butler, Zizek and Agamben. Students will also conduct independent research on a particular technology, exploring its relationship to power and related concepts such as domination, oppression, agency, resistance, and the like.

09S: 3A A studio-based seminar in which students explore the relationship between text, image, and form through letterpress relief printing techniques and the creation of book structures. Lectures and readings will familiarize students with historic and contemporary literature on the book form. Students will study exemplars from the extensive holdings of Rauner Special Collections and the Sherman Art Library in historical hand press and contemporary artistâs books. Limited enrollment. Supplemental Course Fee. Dist. ART. Halasz, Hamlin, Avadenka. 12. The Creative Process
