Re-orienting Ancient Medicine Cour ses
Aileen Das (University of Michigan) and Jay Crisostomo (University of Michigan)
April 22 @ 4-5pm EST via Zoom
This ped agogy workshop is aimed at (past\, current\, and would-be) instructors of a ncient medicine\, science\, and technology courses who would be keen to int egrate material from the pre-modern Middle East. Popular and more academic narratives often equate ancient medicine with Greco-Roman medicine and fram e its study as an originist history of a monolithic western medical traditi on. When these narratives introduce content from the pre-modern Middle East \, such as from Assyria or the medieval Islamicate world\, they define the contribution of Middle Eastern knowledge-makers in terms of their anticipat ion or preservation of a western science. This workshop will discuss ways o f foregrounding the theories and actors of pre-modern Middle Eastern scienc e\, technology\, and medicine without rendering them subservient to a hegem onic "western tradition". Moreover\, we will review a range of primary and secondary source materials that we utilize in our own teaching of these sub jects.
