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 conceptualised; (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 analyse 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, attandance during the full 1-year course is expected (full credit given for the 2 hafl-courses). Intersted students are request to contact Dr. Stahnisch (fwstahni@ucalgary.ca) in addition to the waiting list as further places might be available after Med. Fac. inscriptions.

Notes: All 500-level Fall term and Winter term History courses are restricted to History majors, ANME majors, and History graduate students until August 14. Few historical analyses and interpretations of Western science and medicine have been more politically and ethically charged than those concerning the nature and implications of the periods of German Imperialism ("Kaiserreich") and National Socialism ("Nationalsozialismus"). In this advanced undergraduate seminar, we will consider the development of science and medicine from the formation of the Wilhelminian Empire to Adolf Hitler's (1889-1945) downfall and the end of the National Socialist Period. This course traces the succession of different cultural and political contexts and analyzes changing patterns of academic self-understanding and morality from the Wilhelminian Empire through the Weimar Republic and the "Third Reich".
Notes: All 500-level Fall term and Winter term History courses are restricted to History majors, ANME majors, and History graduate students until August 8.
Notes: This course is a survey of the history of science from Ancient Greece and Rome to the 20th Century. As this is a co-taught and interdisciplinary course, the specialist instructors will teach on their respective field(s) of research comprising a wide variety of topics such as ancient technology and medicine; early modern biology and chemistry; Newtonian and relativistic physics; the Scientific Revolution; early modern biology and modern chemistry; mathematics; biology; psychology; medicine; life sciences and neurosciences in the modern period. The objectives of this course include: the understanding of changing paradigms and world views; the development of critical thinking; the writing of research papers, and fostering the ability to understand the purpose and importance of historical enquiry in scientific contexts. In addition to individual registration through the UofC electronic system, students are kindly requested to contact Dr. Stahnisch per email (fwstahni@ucalgary.ca), in order to receive timely information about the course planning process and potential changes.
