LIT101 Sickness and Storytelling
Stories, poems, plays, and even some Netflix series offer readers and viewers the rare opportunity to enter someone else’s story and empathize with different viewpoints than their own. In this course students will use literature like this as a starting point to dissect the various ways doctors, nurses, and patients experience, make sense of, and ultimately narrate encounters with sickness and injury. Students will also consider how the culture in which someone lives helps to shape the stories that they tell. In 100-level literature courses, students explore, interpret, and discuss a range of texts from multiple media. Fulfills open, liberal arts, and humanities electives.
