PCE 325 - HIV/AIDS: Tearing the Social Fabric (3 Cr.)

*CREDITS CHANGED TO 4 CREDITS EFFECTIVE FALL 2013
If sexual activity is the chain that links us all, then our reaction to HIV/AIDS provides a mirror into our sense of responsibility toward that interconnection. This course will examine HIV/AIDS through the lens of humanitarian and communal ideas and realities, revealing that the integrity of the social fabric is threatened at every level (communal, national, and global) by the devastating impact of the virus. Students will engage in community activities and group projects outside class hours in conjunction with research writing to understand personally and intellectually the disease’s impact on families, communities, and nations and the various ways governments are responding. Prerequisites: junior standing or permission of instructor. Fall semester. Bess.
