Identity 101: How to Study Ourselves

Submitted by Terrible2s on Sun, 10/04/2009 - 11:40am
           
 
     The study of gender and sexuality seems like a joke. How could it be a real study? It is comparable almost to saying that one is minoring in “race.” How could a part of one’s identity, whether they choose it or not (opinions may vary), be a field of study?

Insomnia as a Social Construct...

Submitted by jrlewis on Sat, 10/03/2009 - 9:17pm

Senior Seminar in Biology and Society
October 20, 2009
Julia Lewis

I would like to explore the role of society in current understandings of insomnia as a disease, symptom, or social construct.  To that end, I chose a broad range of readings including cultural, medical, and scientific perspectives on insomnia and sleep.  Hopefully these readings will help inform a conversation about the significance of sleep and its absence in human beings.

will your surveys function as nudges? might you think about introducing some??

Music and Order of Feeling

Submitted by ED on Fri, 10/02/2009 - 1:46pm

            Considering myself to be a fairly cognizant, observant person, I always notice when my heart goes aflutter, or sinks, or starts beating faster. There are several events that make my heart react this way: when I hope for eye contact with someone and then they meet my stare, when someone I like looks me in the eye, when I think of something scary that could happen or something very important that is impending or a deadline that is approaching, when I witness something so nice or so cute that my heart melts in approval. I understand that these reactions are due to the hormonal responses my body has to what my senses perceive in the environment around me.
