Most of the articles we have discussed lately come from the intersection of anthropology and public health. This week we will discuss an article that represents another important strain of medical anthropology: the study of biomedicine as a cultural system. Noelle Sullivan selected the following article for discussion:

Castel, P. (2009). What’s behind a guideline?: Authority, competition and collaboration in the French oncology sector. Social Studies of Science, 39(5), 743-764.

Please join us to discuss this article on Friday, 12:50 – 1:40 p.m., in Grinter 376 (Latin American Studies Conference Room).
