Life Sciences or Social Science: Social Analysis |
|
|
Course Description |
In this seminar, we will study the persistence of some well-known infectious diseases (such as malaria) and the emergence of new ones from a multidisciplinary perspective. We will analyze their environmental, socio-economic, geopolitical, and medical aspects. I will first provide the students with basic epidemiological concepts, using malaria as a case study. This case study will be used as a model for the main part of the class, which will consist of the students investigating a disease of their choice from multiple points of view. To investigate the environmental aspects contributing to the emergence of new diseases, students will learn and apply basic skills in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing. To understand the need for education and diffusion, students will design a Website on their chosen disease. And finally, guest speakers from different disciplines will be invited, to whom students will be encouraged to ask questions about their own disease. |
