The Program in Jewish Studies is excited to announce a brand-new course for Spring 2018,听Ethics, Medicine, and the Holocaust: Legacies in Health and Society听(JWST 4800/5800). The course is offered in collaboration between the 彩民宝典 and Anschutz Medical campuses, offering a听unique opportunity for students to learn with peers from our sister campus.
This听course, which is open to both graduate and undergraduate students,听will explore听the roles that health care听professionals played in supporting and resisting the Third Reich听and approaches for preventing genocide and crimes against humanity.
According to the course instructor, , this topic is important for many reasons. "Health care professionals continue to participate in atrocities, attempted genocides, and mass crimes across the globe," Professor Goldberg says.听"Understanding why healers do so is critical for evaluating attempts to prevent such events." Ethics, Medicine, and the Holocaust will look at how leading human rights scholars have referred to the Nuremberg Doctors' Trials as the birth of modern bioethics in the West and why seemingly good people are susceptible to participation in atrocity.听
This course is offered in person and includes a distance component. It is open to both graduate and undergraduate* students. Students can enroll through MyCUInfo.听Questions? Please email the Program in Jewish Studies听at CUJewishStudies@colorado.edu.
