内容説明

This book explores the fascinating connections between university health centers and the evolution of American health and medicine. ""Student Bodies"" is the first book to link developments in college health with larger trends in American cultural and medical history. This comprehensive and engrossing study describes the origins and development of health services at institutions of higher education in the United States from the early 1800s through the present. Drawing on a variety of primary sources, Professor Heather Munro Prescott examines the relationship between administrative regulation of ""student bodies"" and broader social-cultural views about young adults and their status in nineteenth- and twentieth-century America. ""Student Bodies"" explores many little-known but significant aspects of college health - including the importance of women's colleges in the development of student care, the sometimes controversial handling of health concerns specific to minority and LGBT students, and the rise and fall of in loco parentis. Prescott's engaging and accessible style makes this guide a perfect choice for medical scholars and college administrators as well as anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of medical history, women's health, and the history of college life in America.
