Directed readings and independent study opportunities within specific domains exploring influences on health in France from a comparative perspective with other countries. Potential topics for focus include: 1) the medical care system, 2) the social safety net, 3) social cohesion, 4) immigrant communities, 5) health related behaviors within a social context and the social construction of race, each within the context of how this may impact well-being, longevity and life expectancy.

France has had among the highest life expectancies in the world over many decades, and is currently 9thin the World, with a particularly high life expectancy among women, 5thin the world. The United States, despite much more per capita spending on medical care, consistently ranks much lower, currently 31stin the world. This course surveys how aspects of the country of France compare to the United States with respect to contributing to the health and longevity of the population, including medical care, genetics, social cohesion, health related behaviors and social policy. Approach to exploring the contribution of each domain involves historical and contemporary sources from across multiple disciplines.

Topics include: the relationship between atomic structure and macroscopic properties of man-made and natural materials; mechanical and thermodynamic behavior of surgical implants including alloys, ceramics, and polymers; and materials selection for biotechnology applications such as contact lenses, artificial joints, and cardiovascular stents. No prerequisite.
