Bucknell University will develop a new interdisciplinary Health Humanities minor through a $149,994 three-year Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities under the Promotion of the Humanities Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development program. The minor will consist of a gateway course called "Humanizing Health," three electives from different humanities departments, and a capstone civic engagement experience placing students in rural communities. Funded activities include summer workshops for faculty, curricular development grants, and funding for a program director. Through emphasizing health humanities for all students, not just those pursuing biomedical careers, the project aims to amplify the humanities' contribution to understanding health, illness, and medicine on campus and in the region.
