This class will include readings, discussions, and site visits focused on issues of eugenics' role in experiments up to and including World War II; the nature of eugenics experiments; and the ethical and social context of these scientific experiments. The class will conclude in Genoa, Italy with a final submission of daily entry journals. This course fulfills the Engaging the World reuirement.
