HIST 573 - Seminar in Nineteenth-Century Americanhi

This course will explore the role the writings of Anglo-American travelers had in the creation of modern North and South America. Through creating and perpetuating stereotypes about political institutions, nature, race, class, and civilization, travelers played an integral role in crafting an image of the Americas that still prevails in popular culture. During the nineteenth century, an avid reading public eagerly awaited reports from businessmen, scientists, society mavens, and missionaries on the increasingly accessible reaches of the North American West and Latin America. The combination of technological advances, naturalist scientific interest, and increasing business investment all made Latin America both accessible and desirable location for travel.

HMP 545 - Health Policy

Much of the current health reform debate at the national level has centered on the proper role of government. Regardless of one's perspective on what the proper bounds of government's role should be, there is no question that at this point in history it is substantial. The significance of government's role makes 'health policy' something participants need to understand - and, at times, to help influence -to be an effective leader. The purpose of this course is to provide intensive reading and exercises on health policy to help participants appreciate how (for example) policy is formed, implemented, and evaluated;, and how have public policymakers attempted to address issues related to access, quality and cost, and other relevant concerns both at the federal and state levels.
