Pathway Project
Students are required to complete a Pathway project of their choosing—it can be a health humanities or bioethics research project, a creative project (visual arts, narrative, film, photography, theatre), or an educational project (develop and teach a Health Humanities elective with a faculty co-teacher during fourth year). Students select an advisor/mentor for this project from the Health Humanities and Bioethics faculty or other faculty approved by the Pathway Director.
Health Humanities Pathway Projects can focus on visual arts, literature, narrative, film, music, gender and women's studies, cultural studies, religious studies, philosophy, history or theatre.
