All
interested faculty and graduate students are invited to participate in the medical anthropology journal club. The purpose is to create a forum for discussing and critically evaluating recent literature related to medical anthropology. Typically, one volunteer will select an article and lead a discussion at each meeting.
Articles will be available in PDF form on this website at least one week in advance. If you are interested in participating, please contact me to request a password for access to the articles.
For Spring 2008, the journal club meets every Friday, 11:45 a.m.-12:35 p.m. (fifth period). Unless otherwise noted, we meet in the Medical Anthropology Lab, Turlington B375.
