Alle Termine der Veranstaltung 'Medical Anthropology Forum':

Das Medical Anthropology Forum richtet sich an Wissenschaftler, Studierende und alle, die sich für das Thema Gesundheit und Krankheit in verschiedenen kulturellen und sozialen Kontexten interessieren. Im Rahmen des Forums stellen Nachwuchswissenschaftler und Gäste aus dem Forschungsbereich Medical Anthropology ihre aktuellen Projekte vor.

This is a forum for students, researchers and everyone who is interested in the study of health and illness in different cultural/social settings. We host senior students and scholars who present their current research projects. The aim is to discuss and analyze new theories and themes of medical anthropology and to learn more about international developments in the area of culture, health, and healthcare. In order to obtain credit points, students must attend the lectures ans write a 1-2 page summary of four of the lectures.
