One thing I love about medical anthropology is its scope. Just look at the schedule for the next few weeks of journal club to see what I mean. Tomorrow Nikki D’Errico kicks it off with a Jungian Inner Map of pregnancy dreams; next week we discuss the physiological consequences of social stressors in Kabul; and the following week we deal with genetic factors in racial differences in preterm birth. How about that?

Women & BirthWe will meet tomorrow in 1208 Turlington (Department Conference Room), 11:45 a.m. – 12:35 p.m. Here are the details on the article Nikki selected, which is available as a PDF from the journal club page:

Keenan, S. (2008). Listening to pregnancy dreams: Towards a Jungian Inner Map of pregnancy, lactation, weaning and post-weaning. Women and Birth, 21(3), 127-132.
