We are a special interest group of the Society for Medical Anthropology. These groups are created and maintained to give scholars with similar interests, a place to share ideas and information about related topics.
We are only about 3 years old as an established group. Currently we are in need of 2-3 more people to serve on a steering committee and begin to shape and develop the group in specific directions. Contact esalkeld@ejsalkeld.net if you are interested in serving on the steering committee.
Yes. Typically there is an annual meeting for members held in conjunction with the American Anthropological Association meetings. Dates and times are listed in the AAA program, and can be accessed online prior to the meetings. Occasionally we also meet informally at the Society for Applied Anthropology meetings as well.
Not so far, but we anticipate designing a topically appropriate tour for our members during the 2008 AAA meetings in San Francisco. Details will be posted on this site as this activity develops.
No. At present this group is maintained by volunteer effort. In the future as we grow and expand the resources and services we can offer members, we may begin to charge a small annual membership fee.
The new site is interactive and allows members to participate as a community by discussing issues of relevance through posting comments. We have also added a blog feature and encourage our members to begin blogging with each other. All comments may be read online by all members, and will remain posted on the site for periods of time.
