Medical anthropology, health care systems and the client society - investigating interactions of practice, power and science

- The 5th conference on Medical Anthropology At Home

Welcome to the homepage for MAAH 2008

The 5.th conference on Medical Anthropology At Home was convened in Denmark from the 8.th to 11.th of May 2008 with 29 participants. It was a very succesful conference with good presentations, a lively debate and a pleasant social atmosphere. Not to mention the very beautiful scenario in which the conference was held.

At the moment we are working at gathering the presentations from the conference in a book, which you can absolutely look forward to.

In the menu to the left you will find information about themes and key note speakers as well as the invitation originally send out to possible participants for the MAAH conference in Denmark. It requires a log-in to read the submitted abstracts, papers, slides and photos.

Any questions regarding the conference in Denmark are welcome and should be sent to Mette Bech Risør, mbris@as.aaa.dk, Research Clinic for Functional Disorders, Aarhus University Hospital or Bjarke Paarup, etnobpl@hum.au.dk, Department of Anthropology and Ethnography, Aarhus University.

The next Medical Anthropology At Home will be convened in France in 2010 - we are looking forward to seeing you there
