1. Gender, Health, and Globalization
Course Description 课程简介
Ming and Mohammed are traveling to the UAE to gain access to reproductive technologies that they cannot obtain in their home countries. Aki travels to Israel to receive a kidney transplant, bypassing the long waitlist for organ transplants in Japan. These are just two examples of the immeasurable ways in which gender, health, and globalization interact.
This course explores the issues of new reproductive technologies, reproductive tourism, organ transplants, organ tourism, and legal and ethical debates to highlight the linkages of globalization, gender and health, and to examine the impact globalization has on women and men’s health around the globe. Globalization is also a cultural process whereby symbols, meanings, structures, and practices that both enable and constrain human thoughts, bodies, and actions circulate unevenly around the globe. Gender, masculinity and femininity, are inherently unstable categories which are produced and reproduced, and increasingly shaped and remolded by the force of globalization. The notions and treatments of health are also gendered and unstable, and the processes of globalization interact actively with shifting perceptions of bodies, health, and illnesses, creating new opportunities and dangerous disparities.
Through readings, class discussions, and other exercises, students will explore a) issues of reproductive and organ tourism, b) bioethical theories on reproduction and organ transplants, and c) globalized health issues, services, and utilization by gender. This course will challenge students to consider the three keywords from a variety of intellectual perspectives and engage more deeply with the increasingly globalized world today.
Ming和Mohammed正前往阿联酋,以获得他们在本国无法获得的生殖技术。 Aki前往以色列接受肾脏移植手术,绕过了日本器官移植的漫长候补名单。这些只是性别,健康和全球化相互作用的不可估量方式的两个例子。
本课程探讨新生殖技术,生殖旅游,器官移植,器官旅游以及法律和道德辩论等问题,以突出全球化,性别和健康的联系,并研究全球化对全球妇女和男子健康的影响。 全球化也是一个文化过程,其中包含人类思想,身体和行为的符号,意义,结构和实践在全球范围内不均衡地传播。性别,男性气质和女性气质本质上是不稳定的类别,它们是由全球化的力量产生和复制的,并且越来越多地形成和重塑。健康的观念和治疗方法也是性别化和不稳定的,全球化进程与身体,健康和疾病的观念转变,积极互动,创造新的机会和危险的差距。
通过阅读,课堂讨论和其他练习,学生将探讨a) 生殖和器官旅游问题,b) 关于生殖和器官移植的生物伦理学理论,以及c) 全球化的健康问题,服务和性别利用。本课程将挑战学生从各种知识角度考虑三个关键词,并更深入地参与当今日益全球化的世界。

教师简介:
n Dr. Izumi Nakayama
Born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, Dr. Nakayama studied in Paris, France, and then attended Carleton College in Minnesota, USA, before completing her MA and PhD at Harvard University in History and East Asian Languages. Her main research interests are on the histories of the body, gender, medicine, and technology in Japan and East Asia, as well as food, pharmaceutical, and everyday technologies.
So why is a historian teaching on contemporary issues of globalization, gender, and health? Dr. Nakayama became interested in social, cultural, and ethical issues surrounding the human body while exploring early 20th century German and Japanese scientific studies on menstruation. Around the same time, she was invited to work with medical anthropologists who were interested in examining the Human Genome Project and its ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI), and how this and other new projects may further impact existing inequalities and discriminatory practices or inadvertently create new ones. She has been grappling with bioethical questions ever since.
Gender, Health, and Globalization is definitely not about history. Instead, it explores the cutting-edge ethical challenges that emerge daily from the development and use of technologies of life and death in the 21st century. With new reproductive technologies, we can create gene-edited babies—but should we, and why? Who is the “real mother” when surrogates are used to deliver babies for infertile couples, and how do these realities transform ideas and legal structures about families and kinship? With improved organ transplant practices, we now define “death” differently than in the past. The emergence of an international organ market supplying the demand for these practices commodifies bodies and body parts in ways that are increasingly global and ethically complex and controversial. These are some of the issues that students will grapple with in this course.
And, as a footnote, Dr. Nakayama loves dogs. She will start almost every lecture with puppy photos.

2. Scientific Revolutions: Their Continuing Impact on Our World and Society
Course Description 课程简介
This course will review some of the most important scientific revolutions that have taken place in the history of science and that have led us to where we are today. These include major paradigm shifts in the Physical, Astronomical, Atomic, Relativistic and Quantum domains. They will be placed in their historical contexts and include the struggle of individual scientists to reveal scientific truth, often against established societal dogma and the prevailing views on nature. These scientific revolutions had a deep social impact by changing the way the world is seen and understood and by laying the foundations for the emergence of game-changing new technologies that continue to profoundly shape our lives and social order.
The course will promote deep thinking and open discussion on the social contexts and socio-cultural impacts of the major scientific revolutions. Scientific knowledge and its application by scientists influence, even unconsciously, the way individuals in society think about themselves and interact with others and the world around them. The way of life for billions of people is deeply affected by the technologies and truths that have emerged.
The course will address the following fundamental issues: what is science and how does it work; what is the nature of scientific research; how does science develop and how do paradigms change; how do scientific controversies begin and end so that rival professional commitments become shared scientific endeavour; and what are the social, cultural and technological impacts and consequences of scientific revolutions?
本课程将回顾科学史上发生的一些最重要的科学革命,这些革命将我们带到了今天。这些包括物理,天文,原子,相对论和量子域的主要范式转换。他们将被置于他们的历史背景中,包括个别科学家为揭示科学真理所做的斗争,经常反对既定的社会教条和对自然的普遍看法。这些科学革命通过改变世界被看待和理解的方式以及为改变游戏规则的新技术的出现奠定了基础,这些新技术的发展将继续深刻地塑造我们的生活和社会秩序。
该课程将促进对重大科学革命的社会背景和社会文化影响进行深入思考和公开讨论。科学家的科学知识及其应用甚至无意识地影响了社会中个人思考自己并与他人和周围世界互动的方式。数十亿人的生活方式深受所出现的技术和事实的影响。
该课程将解决以下基本问题:什么是科学以及它如何运作;科学研究的本质是什么;科学如何发展以及范式如何变化;科学争议如何开始和结束,以便竞争对手的专业承诺成为共同的科学努力;什么是科学革命的社会,文化和技术影响和后果?
