“Culture, Health, and Global Transformations: Ethnographic Perspectives”
Organized by Ernesto Vasquez del Aguila, Dulce Natividad, and Robert Frey
|
|
On February 24, 2006, doctoral medical anthropology students in the Sociomedical Sciences Department shared their proposal ideas, initial findings from fieldwork, and preliminary results from their dissertations. Departmental faculty served as discussants and posed challenging questions and criticisms, as well as encouraged the students’ work.
This project was truly a collective and collaborative undertaking.
