The article illustrates how the 1918 influenza and U.S. polio epidemics of 1940s and 1950s can be investigated by undergraduates in multi disciplines. It stresses that undergraduate researchers utilized retrospective epidemiology studies and memories of older adults in gathering data in the investigation of 1918 influenza and U.S. polio epidemics of 1940s and 1950s. It emphasizes the shifting of undergraduate education from individual subject areas to academic boundary crossing which is the interdisciplinary learning. The overview of "Flu Project" that was joined by three different classes of University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh (UW-Oshkosh) including virology, psychology, and anthropology is presented. |
