Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject we offer an anthropological perspective on health, illness and healing. Students explore the ways in which culture shapes how we experience and understand states of health and illness and the diversity of approaches to diagnosis and healing. Medical anthropology is one of the largest sub disciplines of applied anthropology and students will explore its historical underpinnings, its contributions to theory and research methodology both within anthropology and other health disciplines more broadly. Students will also be offered opportunities to learn about medical anthropology in practice including how it contributes to interdisciplinary team work and community partnerships as applied to health and development, health promotion and public health, Aboriginal health and cultural diversity in communities and in the clinic.
