{"ModuleCode":"HY3252","ModuleTitle":"From Tropical Medicine to Bioscience","Department":"History","ModuleDescription":"This module examines “tropical” medicine in the three related contexts of colonialism, high imperialism, and nation-building. The module will survey medicine, disease, and epidemics in British, American and Japanese practice, spanning the 18th to 20th centuries, and culminating with present-day Asia and the place of biomedicine in contemporary nation-states, including Singapore. The module covers the transformation of a scientific field from a colonial body of knowledge to a form of practice embraced and utilized by post-colonial societies.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"2-1-0-2-5","ExamDuration":"P2H","ExamVenue":"MPSH6","Types":["Module","UEM"],"CorsBiddingStats":[{"AcadYear":"2015/2016","Semester":"1","Round":"1A","Group":"Lecture
