Medical Anthropology Journal Club
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.
Course credit now available: As of Fall 2009, students have the option of registering for journal club as a one-credit course (ANG 6905). You are not required to register for credit to attend; we still welcome any and all students and faculty who want to participate. The new course option simply allows you to receive credit toward your degree for the work we do in journal club.
Current Schedule
For Fall 2010, unless noted otherwise, the journal club meets every Friday, 10:40 – 11:30 p.m. (Period 4) in the Medical Anthropology Lab, Turlington B103. Please check the blog for updates about the weekly schedule. You can also subscribe to be receive notices about journal club by email. You could also request to join the Med Anthro @ UF group on Facebook.
