ANTH 55 Anthropology of Global Health

This course explores human responses to disease and illness from the perspective of medical anthropology, with a particular focus on international health. In this context, 'global health' not only refers to health care systems, medical practices, and ideas about illness and the body in cross-cultural contexts, but also encompasses issues of health development paradigms, culture and epidemiology, global health equity and human rights issues.
