ANT 234 - Health and Healing in Africa

Course Units: 1
(Not Offered this Academic Year) This course will explore the diversity of health-related beliefs and practices across Africa. We will firmly situate perspectives and approaches to health and illness within a broad sociocultural and historical context, also helping to challenge stereotypes associated with the continent. By cultivating a deeper knowledge of how African communities perceive and treat afflictions as well as international responses to health crises (e.g. Ebola), we will develop a cross-cultural perspective that expands our understanding of global, as well as local, health and healing.
