This month, we partnered with the Society for Medical Anthropology (SMA, @SocMedAnthro) to provide a few resources recommended by SMA Board members to support work relating to medical anthropology.
Here are a few recommendations for what to read to this month!
This year I taught an entirely virtual open-access graduate course. Materials were free, speakers were compensated, and students were in attendance from all over the WORLD. On-line learning and community is not only possible but often PREFERABLE. No need to "return to normal."
2/2 (which has been granted ethical approval).
I would be interested in learning more about your experiences whether you have disclosed your disability or not!
You can contact me via email - [email protected] or personally direct message this X account.
