The course will be multidisciplinary in scope.

RELS 519: Human Diversity and the Cultures of Medicine
3.00 Credits
University of Pennsylvania
Hufford. Over the past decade there has been a growing awareness of the importance of such basic aspects of human diversity as culture, (religion, language), ethnicity, economic status, gender, age and disability in health care as in other areas of life. This course will deal with (1) the social and cultural foundations of health care in the modern world and (2) the ways that diversity affects and is affected by health care. Because simplistic views of diversity reinforce stereotypes, the course necessarily recognizes that each individual belongs to more than one group--each person has a cultural background, a gender, an age, may have one or more disabilities, and so forth. And even within groups, the experiences and needs of each individual are unique. For example, there is no such person as "the African-American patient" or "the female patient." Proper attention to diversity can enhance both cultural and individually appropriate care for all persons. By dealing with these political, social and cultural aspects of diversity and health care, this course will introduce students to complex and basic issues of social construction ranging from cultural dimensions of medical ethics to the importance of differing health traditions (from folk medicine to foodways to such beliefs as the idea that AIDS is a genocidal government conspiracy).

RELS 520: Spirit and Law
3.00 Credits
University of Pennsylvania
Fishman. While accepting "the yoke of the commandments", Jewish thinkers from antiquity onward have perennially sought to make the teachings of revelation more meaningful in their own lives. Additional impetus for this quest has come from overtly polemical challenges to the law, such as those leveled by Paul, medieval Aristotelians, Spinoza and Kant. This course explores both the critiques of Jewish Law, and Jewish reflections on the Law's meaning and purpose, by examining a range of primary sources within their intellectual and historical contexts. Texts (in English translation) include selections from Midrash, Talmud, medieval Jewish philosophy and biblical exegesis, kabbalah, Hasidic homilies, Jewish responses to the Enlightenment, and contemporary attempts to re-value and invent Jewish rituals.
