Course Description
What is the mind? What does it mean for the mind to malfunction? And how should it be treated when this occurs? “Minds and Madness” provides an historical over-view of responses to these questions by patients, medical practitioners, and society as a whole. Once considered the seat of the soul, the human mind has been captured by science, reduced to a brain, “a hard-wired” neural network. Metaphysical explanations of madness (theological and magical) have been superseded by scientific theories (neurological and material), thus reshaping our understanding and experience of madness. Therapies have transformed accordingly. In exploring these important issues, the course visits the spaces and places of “Minds and Madness,” including: the ship of fools, Bedlam, the asylum, the psychiatrist's couch and GPs rooms, the battlefield, the operating theatre, and the padded cell. It introduces students to a cast of thousands, including: the fool (from King Lear and elsewhere), Burton, Descartes, Locke, Pinel, Kraepelin, Cotton, Freud, Laing, Engel and Spitzer. It analyzes and critiques changing conceptions of mental diagnoses. It delves into the new world of our contemporary neurosciences. Finally, it explores how historians have made sense of this story.

Course Description
Anthropology's long-term ethnographic method, within a specific cultural setting, allows for a particularly intimate understanding of people's experiences of the social worlds they inhabit. This course shows the importance of this experiential intimacy for understanding some of the key issues associated with globalisation: the culturally diverse forms of global capitalism, the transnational communities emanating from global population movements, the transformations of colonial and post-colonial cultures, and the rise of global movements and the corresponding transformation of Western nationalism.

This course explores the main sociological approaches to childhood and youth in modern industrial societies, as well as the ways in which particular perspectives on childhood are central to all social theory.

Further topics of study include the social construction of child abuse; youth homelessness and youth criminality as social problems; the stolen generations; children and the law; the fertility decline; and the differentiation of childhood experience along lines of class, gender, race, and ethnicity.
