Healthcare, disease, and social support systems play pivotal roles in our daily existence. The Master's program in the History of Healthcare and Social Support examines how medical practices and welfare systems have shaped societies from 1750 to 1980, encouraging critical analysis through diverse mediums like cinema, writings, and visual arts.
This course investigates key developments in healthcare and social policy history, covering perspectives from societal studies, gender analysis, colonial legacies, to personal accounts of hardship and disease across different eras. Students will examine how medical and welfare systems intersected with cultural perceptions of gender roles and racial identities.
Renowned for its academic rigor, the program features instruction by globally recognized scholars.
Learning occurs primarily through seminar discussions, fostering skills in public speaking, critical analysis, articulate expression, and precise academic writing.
The capstone research project enables students to pursue their specific historical interests in depth.
