Politics of Health

We center "health" as a critical concept in political theory and practice. "Health" has emerged as a social value of many Western democracies, especially with advancements in medical science, and often refers to a healthy society or debate. Health can be a moral good or a resource to pursue and receive state support for. But health can also be elusive for many people and its meaning can shift based on experience. Nevertheless, health can inform who we think of as a citizen, leader, parent, adult, or even person.

Reading and Writing Poetry

Poetry is enigmatic, mercurial, lush, and profound. It is avant-garde, political, bold, and equally quiet. These are some of the reasons that often, poetry is both immensely appealing and yet, can feel intimidating, both to read and write. In this course we will look at several varieties of poems and read them closely, trying to get at the meaning they want to convey, and the meaning that we draw from them. We will also study form, structure, and other traditional and untraditional tenets of poetry. Students will also write their own original work and submit them to our workshops.
