CONTENT:
  1. Incorporate at least two forms of multimedia on this page that represents the ethno-medical dimensions of your illness [e.g. charts, pictures, youtube videos, etc] and cite your sources. Make sure you refer to/explain them in your essay.
  2. Write a 400+ word essay explaining how an anthropologist could study this disease using the ethno-medical approach. Incorporate the following:
  • Introduce the Ethnomedical approach: describe the approach, its major components/themes and its value to understanding this illness.
  • Discuss the concept of "culture" and explain the importance of contextualizing illness within a given cultural system. 
  • Apply Kleinman's explanatory models of health to this illness and discuss how people understand and seek treatment in the various sectors (folk, popular, professional) within a specific culture or across cultures.
  • Based on the lecture, explain the various ways the "body" can be conceptualized in the diagnosis and treatment of this illness. You can use the Lock and Scheper-Hughes article for reference as well. 
  • Make sure you emphasize the anthropological perspective - after all, this is for an anthropology course!



Use inline citations throughout and include a bibliography in Chicago Style format at the bottom
