KNH 202 Knowledge Development in Health and Physical Culture (3)

     This semester course introduces students to the interrelationships among exercise, health, sport, nutrition, emphasizing how practices in one may affect the others. It will introduce students to a way of thinking (i.e., cross-disciplinary and critical/reflective) that is consistent with the KNH mission and statement and principles of liberal education. Students will learn to recognize and appreciate sources of human variability, especially those inherent in our biology, heredity, age, race, ethnicity, gender, social class/status, and different political contexts. Students will also learn to recognize and appreciate sources of human commonality beginning with the obvious fact that we all have bodies with specific structures and functions; that we share a vulnerability to many so-called "lifestyle diseases;" that we may all benefit from similar prevention strategies; and that we are all subject to the influence of various cultural practices involving the body, sport, leisure, health and nutrition. In this course students will come to recognize and appreciate different kinds of knowledge and different ways of knowing, including the relationship between knowledge and the contexts in which it is appropriately produced, interpreted, and applied.
