- This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to the history of the disease. We will consider the ways that people understood disease and its consequences over time. As we have seen during COVID-19 pandemic, disease has a biological and chemical aspect: it also has economic, statistical, spatial, social, religious, artistic, and political dimensions. We will explore all of these.
