From the Daily Bruin: UCLA will offer a minor in health humanities starting this fall. The minor, housed under the comparative literature department, is an interdisciplinary program that examines how health and medicine are shaped by literature, culture, history and social experience, according to the department’s website.
...Whitney Arnold, an assistant professor in the Department of Comparative Literature, said the department created the minor in response to students’ interest in narrative medicine. The minor requires students to take seven courses, Arnold said, including three electives. There are 78 available electives across about 45 departments... Students must take either Comparative Literature 1H: “Introduction to Health Humanities,” or Cluster 73: “All in Your Head? Brain, Bodymind, and Society,” before formally declaring the minor... The minor will also include a research capstone, which will allow students to work with faculty experts to study broader topics in comparative literature or health humanities...
