The success of this course will be based on informed participation and a diversity of perspectives. We will read the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skoot (Broadway, 2010), and use this and related readings as focal points for exploring contemporary RCR topics. Each student will take responsibility for introducing and leading a discussion about one topic (of their choice) stimulated by the assigned readings. Short writing assignments will also be used to synthesize RCR concepts that are raised throughout the semester.
Open to Graduate students only. This will be offered spring only in odd calendar years
