Notes: As a window on the larger history of the Americas, HTST 207 focuses on Brazilian and United States slavery, 1500-1888, examining its origins in the Atlantic World, slave labour, slave life and culture, and the process by which slavery came to an end.
Notes: Few would have guessed that the Canada created in 1867 and soon constituting one of the largest and least populated nations on earth would become anything of a success story. However, +Canada,+ as The Economist said in 2003, +is now rather cool.+ This experiment in nation-building has taken unexpected turns despite the pull of regionalism, endless debates about federalism, French/ English tensions and on-going economic reliance on traditional export staples. Canadian history has seen remarkable economic expansion and adjustment into industrialized and urban realities. Canadian internationalism has emerged with the nation+s participation in wars and world trade economies and markets. This course evaluates just what was created in 1867 and how +being Canadian+ has been understood, negotiated and re-imagined ever since.
Notes: This course is a survey of the history of medicine and health care, particularly in Western societies, from antiquity to the present. The aims are (a) to sketch main subject lines pertinent to the evolution of modern medicine in its cultural contexts; (b) to examine the ways in which the body, health and disease were conceptualized; (c) to examine the changing role of +the healer+ and the +patient+; (d) to track the evolution of some of the major institutional and societal frameworks of medicine and health care; (e) to analyze the ways in which human societies and their healers interacted in the face of medical challenges. As this course is designed as a 1-year course, ending with the national History of Medicine Days conference, attendance during the full 1-yr. course is expected (full credit given for the 2 half-courses). Interested students are requested to contact Dr. Stahnisch (fwstahni@ucalgary.ca) in addition to the waiting list as further places might be available after Med. Fac. inscriptions.
