GEOG 70.01 Witchcraft and Biomedicine
This course examines the question of health, what it is, who it’s for, and who decides. By focusing on three themes – becoming a doctor or healer; health, illness, and suffering; and health as a nature-society question – through both biomedicine and witchcraft, we approach health from multiple angles. So doing, we will learn about a number of different methodological approaches and theoretical orientations, learning not just about specific case studies, but also about how geographers and related social scientists ask and answer questions.
