Current AnthropologyAfter a hiatus for spring break and the SfAA meetings, journal club is back with moderator Dr. Peter Collings. The reading he has selected this week focuses on a timely issue: climate change.

Crate, S. A. (2008). Gone the bull of winter? Grappling with the cultural implications of and anthropology’s role(s) in global climate change. Current Anthropology, 49(4), 569-595.

This article may not exactly strike you as medical anthropology, but we take a broad view of things around here—climate change certainly has profound implications for health. Indeed, as if on cue, next week UF will participate in an international videoconference on “Climate Change and Child Health.” Reservations are requested for the videoconference, which will take place 8:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. in the Communicore Building, Health Science Center, Room C-14. See the flyer and agenda for details.
