“for as much as we all have become\u00a0consumers<\/em> of web content, most people\u2013including and especially college students\u2013have had little opportunity to be\u00a0producers <\/em>of this content.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

the quote above is from “medicine and magic\u2013or what i did this spring semester<\/a>,” a blog post by holly tucker<\/strong>, vanderbilt professor of french studies and professor of biomedical ethics & society. in the blog post, holly describes her spring honors seminar, “leeches & lancets: early medicine in cultural contexts,” and the online projects her honors students are producing as part of the seminar. you can view the projects here:<\/p>\n
