This Friday will be our last journal club meeting of the semester. Given our discussions so far this semester, it’s fitting that we will be reading an article and related editorial about the role of ethnography in public health:

Phinney, H. (2008). “Rice is essential but tiresome; you should get some noodles”: Doi moi and the political economy of men’s extramarital sexual relations and marital HIV risk in Hanoi, Vietnam. American Journal of Public Health, 98(4), 650-660.

Mills, S. (2008). The political economy of men’s HIV risk in Vietnam and intervention choices. American Journal of Public Health, 98(10), 1734-1735.

Please join us on Friday, 11:45 a.m. – 12:35 p.m., in 1350 Turlington Hall (Diaspora Room). Both PDFs are available from the journal club page.
