Radical Health: Doing Medicine, Health Care, and Anthropology of the Good
Freie Universität Berlin (online),
24-27 June 2021
Convened by:
Medical Anthropology Working Group (German Anthropological Association DGSKA e.V.)
Association for Anthropology and Medicine (AGEM e.V.)
Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, Freie Universität Berlin
In contemporary times of proliferating neoliberalization, augmenting socio-economic disparity, environmental degradation, and political struggles around identities and belonging, health and well-being are becoming increasingly fragile. Not least, COVID-19 illustrates how intimately entangled economic, ecological, social, cultural, and political factors can be, and how they affect people's living environments, health, and health care provision. Our conference brings together the fields of medical anthropology, medicine, and public/global health to focus attention on how "healthy futures" can be envisioned, theorized, and actually "done" despite multiple constraints. We gather social scientists, medical professionals, health activists, and artists whose contributions will open up avenues toward an understanding of what is conducive to "good" health.
The conference begins on Thursday, 24 June 2021 at 14.30 CEST (Central European Summer Time, UTC/GMT +2 hours)
Keynote address "Good for what: Radical health in the midst of an epidemic" by Professor Adia Benton (Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois) on Thursday, 24 June 2021, 19-20 CEST.
