Within contemporary academia, students are introduced to bounded disciplines and disciplinary thinking. However the history of the sciences, and especially the biological studies of the body defy this easy categorization, particularly when considered in light of the Archives of the Body. Using archives at Wellesley, digital archives online, Special Collections at Wellesley, and the Davis Museum, this course will challenge students to re-define what we mean by the body and its biology.
