This MAYS meeting will precede the Joint International Conference “Encounters and Engagements: Creating New Agendas for Medical Anthropology” (http://easaonline.org/networks/medical/events.shtml).

Similar to our previous meetings, we would like to provide you with an opportunity to get to know each other and to discuss your work, even if it is at an early stage of research. We invite papers from across a broad range of Medical Anthropology topics that pay special attention to the theme of “impediments and catalysts” of creating “new agendas” for Medical Anthropology.

For further information please download the call for papers here: CFP MAYS 4th Annual Meeting 2013

Deadline for abstract submission is 15 February 2013.

If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to write to mays.easa[at]gmail.com.

We are very much looking forward to receiving your abstracts and to seeing you in Spain in June 2013!

We are very happy to announce the Joint International Conference “Encounters and Engagements – Creating New Agendas for Medical Anthropology” organized by the American Anthropological Association’s (AAA) Society for Medical Anthropology, the European Association of Social Anthropologists’ (EASA) Medical Anthropology Network, and the Department of Anthropology, Philosophy and Social Work, Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), 12-15 June 2013, in Tarragona, Spain.

Please find the call for papers here: CFP SMA/EASA/URV Conference 2013

The joint conference will be preceded by our next MAYS annual meeting that will take place on 10-11 June 2013. The CFP and further information on the MAYS meeting will be available on this website shortly. So please check again within a few days…

We are very much looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible at these great events in Tarragona next summer!

An international summer school in medical anthropology, will take place at the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, Freie Universität Berlin, from July 22th – July 26th, 2013. 
     >> Deadline for abstract submission is July 15th, 2012.

The summer school focuses on “Well-being at the Margins: Seeking Health in Stratified Landscapes of Medicine and Healing.” We invite advanced PhD students and junior scholars to submit abstracts, focusing on one (or more) of the themes addressed in the following panels:

1) Structures of inequality
2) Citizenship and belonging
3) Embodiment of exclusion and insecurity
4) Ethics of researching suffering and inequality

The summer school offers the opportunity to discuss ideas and results with renowned senior scholars and advanced students, and to participate in a number of related activities such as a one-day field-trip and an interdisciplinary round-table discussion. We aim at preparing the papers for publication, either in an edited volume or in a peer-reviewed journal.

Confirmed speakers are:

Heide Castañeda (University of South Florida, USA)
Sylvie Fainzang (Inserm/Cermes3, Paris, France)
Ian Harper (Unviersity of Edinburgh, UK)
