The 1960s was the most turbulent period the United States experienced during the 20th century. The decade began with the United States as the leading world power, experiencing unprecedented prosperity, and with the vast majority of the population confident concerning their future and that of their nation. By 1968, however, all of the major institutions of America were being questioned and the nation was, it appeared to many, coming apart. The seminar will examine the values and policies of the United States at the beginning of the decade and the challenges and changes in the areas of civil rights, foreign policy, gender relations, and culture.

This mini-course (4 lectures) explores the history of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, with an emphasis on its current global epidemiology. Utilizing an array of selected readings and visual documentaries, this course will demonstrate that on a global scale HIV/AIDS is a series of localized epidemics with a wide range of underlying determinants. The course will also demonstrate how the response to these epidemics is driven by cultural, economic, historical, political, and religious factors, and that the pandemic itself has an effect on issues ranging from public health to immigration policy. The course will draw on anthropology, sociology, history, economics, political science as well as health and biological sciences. (Offered Sept. 30-Oct. 9)

This mini-course (4 lectures) focuses on changes in public health policy and practice in response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. In particular the course will concentrate on responses such as syringe exchange, peer driven outreach efforts, and the rise of what has come to be known as harm reduction. Policies in the United States will be contrasted with those in Australia, Canada, Iran, the Netherlands, and Russia. Importance will be given to demonstrating that responses to the HIV/AIDS pandemic have resulted in dramatic shifts in public health approaches to other diseases and in working with stigmatized and marginalized population groups (e.g., racial and ethnic minority groups, drug users, prostitutes). This course will demonstrate the links between anthropological/sociological research and public health policy. (Offered Oct. 21-Oct. 30)
