Description:
This study is available for members of the Black Male Initiative (BMI) "Enriched Classroom Initiative" students only.

SUNY ESC BMI studies target African-American/Black and Latino/Hispanic men who are severely under-represented in higher education. All programs and activities of BMI are open and available to all members of the SUNY Empire State College community without regard to race, gender, national origin and other characteristics. If you have questions or concerns regarding BMI, please contact Dr. David A. Fullard, Ph.D. at Ph.D. at David.Fullard@esc.edu or call him directly at (917) 468-9840.

Disease is a constant, if unwelcome, fellow traveler in human history. Why is that? What did we do to deserve this? These are questions that have been voiced again and again in human lives. The study will explore how diseases that have plagued (literally) humans have often been the result of human activity and lack of thought and insight into the natural world and its workings. In addition to exploring how disease has functioned as a causal reality in history, we will also explore how humans have sought to account for it and keep it at arm's length, with particular attention to early systems of medical explanation.
