• Making Babies:Technology, Nature and Social Context: (HHS 450) examines the process of human birth focusing on the emergent technologies of human genetics, assisted reproductive technologies, prenatal diagnosis and treatment, as well as the appropriate and inappropriate use of technology through the labor, delivery, and postpartum experience. Spring 2006 enrollment is anticipated to be over 500 students in this General Education course (T3).
• Women’s Health (NURS 595) examines women's health and women's health care from historical, political, and social perspectives. It will include discussion of societal and health care constraints which hinder women from achieving their full health potential. The course also presents information on women's health care practices, including the concept of self-care, and relates this to the development of educated consumerism in the health care system. The “Health Awareness Expo” (formerly the “Women’s Health Fair”) is presented by the students each semester and open to the UNH community.
