Course Description

Discipline(s): Historical Perspectives / Science & Society

This course explores the long history of human well-being in Africa: from the diets and mental health of earliest people; through challenges of diseases in eras of pre-modern globalization; to the formulation of ¿medical science¿ amid the Atlantic slave trade and then European overrule; to the aspirations of Africans after political independence to care for themselves amid the challenge of constrained national budgets for health care while facing emergent scourges.
