TO VAX OR NOT TO VAX: Vaccines in History
HIST 498 sec. 2ON
ONLINE

Humans have long used various methods to induce immunity against disease. For just as long they have hotly debated whether it’s a good idea, whether it's unnatural or a sin, whether it harms the body, or whether it impinges on individual rights. What we now call vaccination is one of the most effective medical interventions for reducing the morbidity and mortality of some of the most terrifying infectious diseases and yet, even now, it remains controversial. To inform and deepen our current understanding of the Covid-19 pandemic, this course examines key episodes in the history of vaccines with a special focus on the social and cultural contexts that generated such heated debates about the process.

And many more. Our televisions and computer screens have become the vehicles through which we understand crime. In a few minutes time, the local news informs us of the multitude of criminal exploits in our town and across the globe. In an hour of TV time, a gritty drama unfolds in which troubled police detectives overcome their neuroses to capture what we thought were elusive lawbreakers. In less than a few hours, our heroes spring to action and defeat our nemeses who threaten our way of life. A few minutes, a few hours, or a few days can be squandered on the internet, pouring over the latest crime stories or streaming our favorite crime program. Fictional story lines range from attempts at gritty realism to statistically improbable ludicrousness. Both fictional accounts and real crimes depicted in our media enrage and entertain the public. But what else do these stories do? Careful analysis reveals the impactful narratives on justice behind these cultural artifacts. This course will explore how media frames our discussions on crime and justice. We will also analyze how these justice narratives affect our lives and world in real and meaningful ways. In this course, we will consider the intersections of justice studies, crime/delinquency, policy/law, and media. Employing case studies, we will critically analyze depictions of crime, criminals, and law enforcement in popular culture. Specific attention is placed to the following areas: the social construction of crime and justice; the structure and influence of media; and the implications of media portrayals of crime for policy, law, and our understandings of deviancy. Students are invited to explore a multitude of theories, ideas, and scholarship as they learn about this dynamic field of study.
