| Title: | Contagion and the Common Good |
|---|---|
| Course Section Number: | FRT-101-16 |
| Department: | Freshman Tutorial |
| Description: | This tutorial uses infectious disease and public health as lenses to explore questions about human experience, suffering, moral obligation, and the meaning of community. Through a variety of readings, film, art, discussion, and community engagement, together we will consider why (and with what) some people suffer more than others, what we might owe others, and what it means to pursue the "common good." Not merely theoretical, the plan for this tutorial is to engage locally with areas of community need so that we can more critically reflect, learn, and grow. A member of the Biology Dept. and Director of the Wabash Global Health Initiative, Dr. Eric 365体育博彩_365体育app-彩票*官网tzel loves to engage students in experiential learning that forces them to consider deeply their role and place in life. A father of 5 grown kids and a professor of 30 years, Dr. 365体育博彩_365体育app-彩票*官网tzel has led immersion courses to places like the rainforest, mountains, and urban coast of Peru and the barrier reef of Belize. |
