College Courses 2 - Alcohol and Addiction Medicine

Institution:

Dartmouth College

Subject:

Description:

09S: Tu 1-4 In this survey course we consider symbolic and substantive roles of alcohol use in the lives of diverse individuals, families and societies. We look at symbolic aspects of alcohol use as we read and discuss selected literary works, and examine substantive aspects of use through reading and discussion of medically-based and social science texts. Students also become familiar with models of recovery for those individuals, families or societies harmfully affected by the use of alcohol and/or other drugs. During the first weeks of the term, Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Medical School faculty present their respective interpretations of selected research findings and literary works and engage with students in discussion. During the last weeks of the course, students conduct their own research into particular aspects of alcohol or other drug use and present key findings.
