Course Description
During the seventeenth century, many philosophical developments took place that still have an impact on the way we think today, be it in the realm of theoretical or of practical philosophy. However, it is also the time when more and more women participated in philosophical debates of their days; and François Poullain de la Barre (1647-1723) famously declared that “the mind has no sex”. But women philosophers had to face serious obstacles when participating in the learned world. In this course, the focus is on the thought of three women philosophers of the seventeenth century, namely Arcangela Tarabotti (1604-1650), Elisabeth of Bohemia (1618-1680), and Anne Conway (1631-1679). Although they were engaged in different philosophical debates, they all illustrate the complex and problematic relation between sex, gender, and philosophy.

Course Description
This course examines the ways in which literature contributes to public debate about the meaning of the past. In particular, it examines the role played by literature and film in dealing with divisive and painful memories. Which cultural memories dominate images of the past, and which events are suppressed? How does literature interact with other media in bringing marginalized stories to light? And in re-imagining the boundaries of nations? The course addresses these questions through the comparative study of novels and movies dealing with civil war (Spain, Northern Ireland) and with the legacy of colonialism (France/Algeria, Netherlands-Indonesia).

Course Description
This course introduces ideas and practices of healing in traditional China through a critical exploration of Chinese medical culture in its dynamic formation and transformation. The course seeks to enhance interest in Chinese civilization from intellectually challenging angles and enrich knowledge of key ideas and methods of healing in medical sciences, philosophy, religion, and literature. It also fosters cross-cultural inquiry by contrasting or connecting Chinese with Western medical cultures. In light of influential holistic theories in traditional Chinese medicine, such as Yin-Yang and five elements, the correlation between man and nature, Qi (vital energy) and the common origins of herbs and food, a number of key concepts in Chinese medical culture ar explained. Case examples include prevention and methods for treating disease in Chinese medicine, including cancer, stroke, dementia, and depression.
