This Division III seminar will be organized around students' Division III Independent Study Projects. Students will be responsible for presenting their Division IIIs in progress several times during the semester and for providing serious, thoughtful written feedback on one another's work. We will also address general and shared issues of conducting research, formulating clear and persuasive analysis, and presenting results both orally and in writing. The primary purpose of the seminar is to provide a supportive and stimulating intellectual community during the Division III process.

Public Health is what we do as a society to ensure that all citizens will be healthy. Though they are often invisible, public health efforts affect our everyday lives. Through class discussions as well as readings and presentations, participants will explore current health issues within the US and globally. We will begin with an introduction to the key concepts of public health: the burden of disease, determinants of health, health systems, and how health status is measured.

The goal of this course is to deepen students' understanding of democracy today by viewing it through the lens of gender and sexuality. Particular attention has to be given to the concept of the political, norms gender and the political subjectivity. The relation between the state and social movements will be a fundamental focus of this seminar, given the debates about the ambiguity of "participationism" and "assimilationism" as political strategies. Special attention will also be given to the effects of political actions on subjectivity and everyday life.
