HPS319 - Essay topics
The following is a list of broadly defined topics for your essay proposal and your
research essay. Please select a topic listed below as the subject matter of your proposal
and your essay. It is important to choose a topic that you find interesting and
intriguing. The topics below are deliberately presented as broad themes so that you can
narrow down the subject matter of your essay to a more specific theme – ideally a
“case study” – by examining particular events or historical processes that are closely
related to the periods covered by the course (from the 17th to the 20th centuries).
In general, when choosing the theme of your essay, you should keep in mind that it is
always better to focus on shorter rather than longer historical periods. An essay that
covers long historical periods is much more difficult to construct within the allotted
space and time. By contrast, writing on a case study or a specific event helps you to
make your argument more specific and informative.
For example, if you choose the topic “Hospitals and the world of medicine”, and
would like to write about a specific medical activity on a particular kind of hospital,
you may add to the main topic a subtitle along the lines of: Nursing on Hospital Ships
During the Great War (1914-1918). You could then choose a specific ship to narrow
your essay further to a specific case study.
Please keep in mind that this research essay involves carrying out original research and
requires that you examine a topic beyond class and tutorial discussions and materials.
Thus, it is highly recommended that you start working on your proposal and essay
as soon as possible!
Additionally, although much of the course content pertains to the Western medical
tradition, you are welcome to choose and research topics outside this tradition.
Essay topics:
1) Patients and healers
2) The experience of illness through the eyes of the patient
3) The making of medical authority
4) Medical pluralism: a diversified world of healers and healing
5) The care and cure of mental illness
2
6) Medicine, colonialism, and empire
7) Medicine and slavery
8) Gender and medicine
9) Women and medicine
10) Hospitals and the world of medicine
11) Medicine and the laboratory
12) The care and cure of the body
13) Monitoring/measuring the body and its social implications
14) Medicine and the making of race
15) Medicine and religion
16) Practices and/or places of care and healing
17) Medicine and the Eugenic movement (please examine a specific case study)
18) The role of images and/or objects (e.g., illustrations, artefacts, instruments,
specimens, etc.) in the production, communication, and dissemination of medical
knowledge
19) Medicine and the senses
20) Medicine and technology
The Essay Proposal is due on November 4. The required length ca. 300 words (not

questions. It consists of a short narrative that discusses the topic and main ideas of
your essay. It also includes two or three main research questions you would like to
address in your essay, and a bibliography consisting of at least four secondary
sources written by historians and one primary source.

The Research Essay is due on November 25. The required length of the research

include notes and a bibliography. Notes should be placed at the bottom of the page
(footnotes). When quoting directly or paraphrasing material from someone else’s
work, students must give the reference in their footnotes. There are many different
ways to reference scholarly works, but please follow the simple and standard form
that is posted on Quercus (‘Citation Style’).

Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is essential to the pursuit of learning and scholarship in a university,
and to ensuring that a degree from the University of Toronto is a reflection of each
student’s individual academic achievement. As a result, the University treats cases of
cheating and plagiarism very seriously and considers them serious academic offences,
which have consequences for people’s grades and careers. The University of
Toronto’s Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters outlines the behaviours that constitute
academic dishonesty and the processes for addressing academic offences
(https://www.viceprovoststudents.utoronto.ca/students/#CodeAcademic).
Potential offences include but are not limited to:
In papers and assignments:
1. Using someone else’s ideas or words without appropriate acknowledgement.
2. Submitting your own work in more than one course without the permission of
the instructor.
3. Making up sources or facts.
4. Obtaining or providing unauthorized assistance on any assignment.
On tests and exams:
1. Using or possessing unauthorized aids.
2. Looking at someone else’s answers during an exam or test.
3. Misrepresenting your identity.
5
In academic work:
1. Falsifying institutional documents or grades.
2. Falsifying or altering any documentation required by the University.
All suspected cases of academic dishonesty will be investigated following procedures
outlined in the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters. If you have questions or concerns
about what constitutes appropriate academic behaviour or appropriate research and
citation methods, you are expected to seek out additional information on academic
integrity from the instructor or from other institutional resources, such as (see
www.utoronto.ca/academicintegrity/resourcesforstudents.html).
