GHS 354 - Medical Anthropology and Perspectives of Health in Asia-Pacific
Credits: 4
An examination of ethnographic research on health and illness in Asia and the Pacific. Students consider non-western perspectives of health, illness, and bodies through reading medical anthropology works. Topics include infectious disease, chronic disease, addiction, commodification of bodily processes and components, illness related to food and water, and mental health in cultural context. Students learn to draw connections between the health of individuals, population health, and policies created by governing bodies while also developing a sense of how medical anthropological data are interpreted and written.
