As the pandemic began to spread around the world earlier this year, Samantha King, a professor at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트카지노 게임 컬렉션�s School of Kinesiology and Health Studies, saw an opportunity to elevate her course HLTH 334 The Politics of Health and Illness 카지노 게임 컬렉션� taking a closer look at COVID-19 and its wide-ranging affects while it is still happening.

Previous iterations of the course also addressed viruses, vaccines, and epidemics but COVID-19 is current and front-of-mind for practically everyone. New information is constantly coming in but the focus of the course hasn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t changed 카지노 게임 컬렉션� teaching students how health and illness are not simply biological individual experiences but collective social phenomena with political implications.

With a new plan, Dr. King quickly got to work identifying source material while utilizing a similar theoretical framework used in the course previously. She also had to develop the course for a remote learning model, with Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s moving most of its program online due to the pandemic.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�This course is really about trying to understand that the way we organize our society impacts how people experience health and illness,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Dr. King explains, adding that students generally enter kinesiology and health studies programs with an interest in improving the community카지노 게임 컬렉션�s overall health. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I am trying to get students to think about the relationship between their own experiences of the pandemic and larger social patterns and relations of power, and to understand that the virus didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t come out of nowhere, that it came out of a particular context and that how we respond to it is not inevitable.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Finding relevant and quality material for the course wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t a problem. More time-consuming was sifting through the massive amount of information regarding the latest developments that is constantly being put out and updated. But, with a lot of reading, Dr. King was able to select meaningful, interesting and accessible articles, academic and popular, for the students.

In moving the course to a remote learning model Dr. King has employed both synchronous and asynchronous components. Students also have an opportunity to meet with her at least once a week and also participate in smaller groups with a TA.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The structure is working out well and that is as much about the small class size as it is about the remote learning,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I might continue to divide their tutorials into smaller groups once we return to face-to-face learning. Students are talking more and the conversation is more organic even though they are in little boxes on the screen. In the bigger lectures I have to work harder to get them to participate, but putting them into breakout rooms, then asking them to report back, helps with that.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

One of the areas of particular interest within the course are masks and why some people are open to wearing them while others are extremely opposed. This is where politics have played a major role.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We are doing a semester-long project on masks and I am trying to help students understand how decisions about masking are not only about public health but connected to bigger political ideologies.,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Studying masks and people카지노 게임 컬렉션�s attitudes to them offers a powerful lens into what카지노 게임 컬렉션�s happening in the world right now, politically, economically, and socially.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

The findings are then being shared through a blog being created by the students themselves. The hope is that the material being posted will benefit those that access it.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I haven카지노 게임 컬렉션�t done a blog as part of a course before,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Dr. King says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I decided to do it this time because I thought if we are doing all this work to learn about COVID-19 and explain it to each other, we really should share it with the public too.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
