Welcome to the Medical Anthropology web site at the University of Arizona. It serves several purposes.
It will inform you about our teaching and research activities as engaged anthropologists actively working on subjects related to international health and development; ethnomedicine; anthropology of the body; health disparity; the political economy and political ecology of health; gender and health; adolescent health; aging; pharmaceutical practices; etc.
It will provide you with information about graduate studies in medical anthropology at the University of Arizona. Information is provided on courses taught and degrees offered.
The site serves as a network resource for current and former students enabling them to keep in touch and maintain a sense of community. A bulletin board is availabe for student use as well as a list serve. Only current and former students have access to the student network area.
We are happy to share some of our resources. Provided are a series of links we commonly use to stay abreast of what is happening in the fields of anthropology, the health social sciences, and international health and development etc.
From time to time we post bibliographies, articles, photographs and videos on the site related to subjects of special interest. These materials and course syllabi are posted and available to the general public. Some - but not all - course reading lists are available to the general public. Course materials are tailored to the needs of cohorts of students and are constantly changing.
We hope you find the site informative and useful.
