The health humanities is an interdisciplinary approach to the cultural, historical and ethical dimensions of health and medicine. Courses in the health humanities  examine health and illness as concepts that are intimately connected to human bodies, human experiences and human cultures. Health contains and exceeds the human, and so humanities disciplines provide an expansive and interdisciplinary perspective on what it means to be healthy, ill, flourishing, languishing, living and dying. To explore health and illness in this framing is to engage in a wide spectrum of cultural literacies that are the hallmarks of a liberal arts education.
