This course introduces students to anthropological theory and ethnographic research methods from the perspective of health inequalities and cultural aspects of health care systems. Students will investigate the concepts of health, disease and illness from an anthropological perspective in order to study how cultural and structural inequalities influence diverse experiences of health care institutions and practices.

Practical experience in aspects of the cultural resource management process are provided through a one-semester rotation of work in the Office of State Archaeology (OSA), Museum of Anthropology (UKMA), and the program for Cultural Resource Assessment (PCRA). Students are assigned tasks at each work assignment rotation during the semester and are evaluated on the basis of work performance and a journal summary of this experience by a committee of their supervisors.
