About the course
Health, illness and medicine are ubiquitous in contemporary public debates but are rarely investigated critically. Today, medical anthropology faces novel and fruitful challenges in its relation to biomedicine, public health and international health policy, whether as fields of investigation or as areas of collaboration. How, specifically, can medical anthropology contribute to biomedical research in the global north and the global south?
We will examine the challenges medical anthropologists face in research collaborations with public health, international health organisations, and medical professionals. This course lets you examine issues such as 'the body', digital health, mental health, hospital ethnography, pharmaceuticals, anatomy, and technologies for assisted reproduction.
