Crafting Healthcare

Dawn Fallik, Catherine Heilferty, Barbara Ley, Yasser Payne,

This project is to design and offer an undergraduate elective course for UD juniors and seniors in any major field of study, HLTH467/ENGL409/WOMS467 Crafting Healthcare. Students will be invited to explore caring and being cared for at the margins through the intersection of crafting and healthcare. Informed by work in the humanities, students will participate in experiential and service learning about illnesses, social disparities, and healthcare practices that occur primarily outside hospital settings.
