Medical Anthropology Matters is coordinated by Drs. Lance Gravlee and Alyson Young in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Florida. This new blog grew out of a local need to share information between students and faculty affiliated with our graduate program in medical anthropology. But we hope that it will grow to become more than a local resource. Indeed, one reason we opted for a blog, rather than an internal list-serve, is that we’d like to promote the exchange of ideas with people interested in medical anthropology—no matter where you are.
In the spirit of promoting dialogue, we begin by inviting you to share your ideas about how best to use this blog. What’s your vision for what it could become? Leave a comment to let us know.
