MA Social History of Medicine: The course is intended for students who wish to specialise in the Social History of Medicine, and to acquire the skills to carry out research in the field. Drawing in particular on the specialist areas of the course tutors, the MA aims to develop a broad historical knowledge of the subject, to develop methodological skills, to develop new topics for historical investigation, and to carry out primary research in the history of medicine. Core Course 1 : 'Outlines of Medical History' This is a compulsory course, intended to provide students with a broad chronological framework and outline of some of the main themes and developments in the social history of medicine, from the early modern period to the twentieth century. It focuses on the evolution of medical ideas, the structure of medical practice, medical institutions, and the scientific, demographic, cultural, and social context of medical intervention. Core Course 2 : 'Texts and Contexts in the History of Medicine' The secondary compulsory Core Course, is intended to give students a grounding in the wide range of sources available to the social historian of medicine, including practice records, local archives, diaries, public health material, health propaganda, patients' narratives, and visual sources: architecture, paintings, photography and film. Intensive use is made of primary source material and a 'hands on' approach, while contextualising the material within broader historical debates. Visits are made to the Modern Records Centre, Warwick Country Record Office and the Wellcome Trust Library.
