Description:

This course is designed to introduce students to ways in which health, wellness, and related concepts are constructed and shaped by culture. We will draw on concepts from ethnomedicine, medical anthropology, anthropology of religion, sociolinguistics, and the psychology of health. We will explore various ways in which individuals, households, larger groups of people, and various medical systems and practitioners define, interpret, and attempt to create health. In this class, the concept of "health" includes not only the health of physical bodies, but also of mental, spiritual, social, and emotional bodies.
