This course introduces students to a major and fairly recent anthropological subfield using a culturally comparative and trauma-informed approach to human affliction, health, and healing. Given that health and affliction are embodied experiences, a complex understanding of the body as both biologically produced and culturally located is central to the course. Students will become familiar with the central theoretical and practical approaches in the subfield of medical anthropology. prereq: minimum 60 credits or grad student, or instructor consent
