本科教育正在从分散的学科领域向统一的学科领域转变。为了增强日益增长的跨学科意识，我们建议采用与这一流行病相关的视觉艺术来教授艾滋病毒/艾滋病生物学。我们制定替代生物课程的原因是：（1）针对不同的学习方式，从而增加学生对材料的理解； （2）确认生物学与艺术之间的相互联系，并激发学生的创造力。我们详细介绍了如何使用艺术作品来引发有关艾滋病毒/艾滋病的生物/医学后果、美国流行病历史以及这种疾病的情感影响的讨论。通过描述这种综合课程，我们提供了一种将学术界传统上分离的知识盒子统一起来的方法。
Undergraduate education is shifting from fragmented subject areas to unified disciplines. To add to the growing interdisciplinary awareness, we are suggesting an approach to teaching the biology of HIV/AIDS by using the visual art that relates to this pandemic. Our reasons for formulating an alternative biology curriculum are: (1) to address different learning styles, thereby increasing the students’ understanding of the material; and (2) to affirm the interconnections between biology and art, and to stimulate creativity among students. We detail how pieces of art can be used to initiate discussions about biological/medical consequences of HIV/AIDS, history of the epidemic in the US, and the emotional ramifications of this disease. By describing this integrative curriculum, we provide a means of uniting intellectual boxes which academia traditionally separates.
