Deadline 30 April, for student panel at RAI Medical Anthropology Conference 2010.
Following the 2010 RAI conference “Medical Anthropology in Europe: Shaping the Field”,
Medical Anthropology Young Scholars Oxford University (European Association of Social Anthropologists) Anthropological Society
organize a Student Workshop:
Saturday July 3rd, 2010 – 9.30 am-18.00 pm Oxford University, UK
As medical anthropologists, we have carved a distinct niche in the social sciences. However, the boundaries of this niche are rather malleable in the academic and non-academic worlds. Medical anthropology incorporates scholarship spanning from history to physiology, while practicing within a wide range of situations from academic research to implementing health care policies.
We seek to explore the interdisciplinary nature of medical anthropology from both perspectives of theory and practice:
• To what extent does medical anthropology cross academic disciplines? • If we should create boundaries, where should these lines be drawn? • What is the academic identity of a medical anthropologist?
Similar questions can be raised when the anthropologist shifts to practice: • What is the role of medical anthropologist in society? • How, if desired, can medical anthropologists contribute to a bettering world?
Shaping our Science Medical Anthropology, Interdisciplinarity and Public Space
WWe invite students of medical anthropology and young scholars to contribute.
Please submit proposals (max. 250 words) and register using the online form: http://tinyurl.com/MAYS-Oxford-registration
Deadline for proposals: April 30th 2010 Decisions about accepted papers will be made by May 15th.
Proposals will be reviewed by the representatives of MAYS and OUAS.
