Course Description

Seminars explore the global AIDS crisis, adopting the medical-anthropological perspective of Paul Farmer’s “Infections and Inequalities”. Varying epidemiological profiles of AIDS are placed in broader social, cultural, and political-economic frameworks. The impact of globalization and structural inequality on local cultures and lifestyles will provide an essential backdrop to the discussions. This is a joint course between Human Biology and Anthropology but it is administered by Human Biology.
