The development and teaching of a new upper-level undergraduate seminar on morality, habits, and health.

The National Endowment for the Humanities funds the development of interdisciplinary undergraduate courses on "enduring questions" that explore "a fundamental concern of human life" and "transcend time and place but are also relevant to our lives today." The grant funds the development of the course, and each courses must be offered at least twice. For this grant, I propose to prepare and teach an undergraduate course entitled "Morality, Habit, and Health: Is bad behavior the source of bad health?"
