| 02-025 | APC 1 | IDH 3XXX | Florida As Text: An Ecological Inquiry |
Corequisite: None
This is an academic experiential learning seminar that will examine Florida as a "text" which can be read and interpreted on different levels. Our inquiry will be interdisciplinary, integrating the methods and knowledge of history, geography, literature, biology, art, oceanography, anthropology, sociology, economics, politics, and space science. As an environmentally based course, we will focus on the natural and social ecologies of the state. The core of the seminar will be a two-week "field research" tour of Florida. No new faculty or additional resources are required for this course.
| 02-026 | APC 1 | IDH 3XXX | The Healing Arts |
Corequisite: None
We will explore the classical traditions of medicine and their re-interpretation during the Protestant Reformation and the Scientific Revolution. Students will discover and analyze the tents of Galen, whose humoral system monopolized medicine for over a thousand years. They will learn about the role of the Church in regulating certain medical activity and why the arrival of religious reform challenged Galenic thought. Control of the medical marketplace by elitist physicians persisted until the 17th century, shutting out surgeons, apothecaries and other irregulars (including midwives and wise women) from licensed responsibility. Students will read about the era of empiricism, ushered in by the arrival of New World medicaments, which buttressed the search for specific cures. They will examine some of the publications that broke open the secrets of the medical profession so that, as the title of one such tract suggests, everyman became his own doctor. No new faculty or additional resources are required for this course.
| 02-027 | APC 1 | IDH 3XXX | Leadership in Contemporary America |
Corequisite: None
This seminar will seek to describe and understand how the nation's leadership, with special emphasis on the time frame from 1939-1968, dealt with this historic era. A
cursory overview of the leadership personalities subsequent to 1968 will also be conducted at the conclusion of the course. From the Perspective of biographers, professors, historians, newspaper reports, and speechwriters, we will look outward from inside of the Oval Office, the focal point of American leadership style.
No new faculty or additional resources are required for this course.
| 02-028 | APC 1 | IDH 3XXX | Science, Technology and Society |
Corequisite: None
The distinguishing characteristic of the times that we are living in is extremely rapid change. A continuing explosion of discoveries and inventions in science and technology is both a cause and effect of this fast pace. This course will explore the interactions between scientific research, technological developments, and human society.
No new faculty or additional resources are required for this course.
