  • GRMN 691: Travel in German Literature

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Wiggin. During the early modern period (circa 1450-1800) the world became global. A "new world" which challenged "old world" frameworks of knowledge was made to accomodate European travellers. This seminar will devote itself to travel literature (broadly conceived) on the Americas to explore questions historical and actual, literary and theoretical: How did contact initially effect the old world How did its representation evolve over the early modern period How can a concept of early modern globalism be useful today Weekly seminar topics will be organized around a single primary text (some available only in Van Pelt's Rare Book Room) and an array of secondary materials. Each participant will lead one seminar session, assigning further readings as s/he determines necessary. A one-day seminar within the seminar will allow students to present their work on early modern globalism in a conference-style format. Each contribution will then be re-worked as the final paper. Primary materials may include: Herzog Ernst; Schedel's Weltchronik; Muenster's Cosmographica, travel accounts by Staden and Hutten; Theodor de Bry's American publications; Ortelius, Blaeu, and Jansson maps; Gottfried's American compilation; travel literature by Penn, Pastorius, and Saur; Insel Felsenburg; Humboldt.

    Danzon. This course examines the structure of health care systems in different countries, focusing on financing, reimbursement, delivery systems and adoption of new technologies.

Some issues we address are normative: Which systems and which public/private sector mixes are better at achieving efficiency and equity Other issues are positive: How do these different systems deal with tough choices, such as decisions about new technoligies Our main focus is on the systems in four large OECD countries--Germany, Canada, Japan, and the United Kingdom--but we also look at other countries with interesting systems- including Italy, Chile, and Singapore.

    University of Pennsylvania

    Kimberly. This course presents an overview of the business of health and how a variety of health care organizations have gained, sustained, and lost competitive advantage amidst intense competition, widespread regulation, high interdependence, and massive technological, economic, social and political changes. Specifically, we evaluate the challenges facing health care organizations using competitive analysis, identify their past responses, and explore the current strategies they are using to manage these challenges (and emerging ones) more effectively. Students will develop generalized skills in competitive analysis and the ability to apply those skills in the specialized analysis of opportunities in producer (e.g. biopharmaceutical, medical product, information technology), purchaser (e.g. insurance), and provider (e.g. hospitals, nursing homes, physician) organizations and industry sectors. The course is organized around a number of readings, cases, presentations, and a required project.
