GENL 254 The Greek Connection: Culture, Health & Well-being (WB)

Culture can be a nearly invisible force in our daily lives, but it plays a crucial role in understanding mind/body wholeness and therefore improving well-being. In this course, students will develop a rich understanding of cultural dimensions and cultural differences by applying Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care during their immersion in the Greek culture. Students will learn from local experts about health, well-being, cultural anthropology, and political and social issues. We risk misunderstanding the influence of culture if we examine it only from a distance, so students will gain a balanced perspective through their immersion into the Greek culture.
