Why biomedical anthropology is crucial to political decisions about the future of life, life science & local health

Speaker: Margaret Sleeboom-Faulkner, Professor of Social and Medical Anthropology, Global Studies3939.item

Better insights into biomedical economies and cultures can help us navigate arguments about whether and how health can benefit through scientific knowledge, biological enhancement, economic growth, indigenous forms of healthcare, or by, other, socio-political means. This lecture will discuss the role of anthropology in decisions that will affect all our futures.

This is an open public lecture and everyone is welcome to attend, but we do ask that you book your place as numbers are limited.
