About the Author:
Medical anthropology is one of the newest and most dynamic of anthropology's various sub-disciplines. Critical medical anthropology (CMA), which examines health-related issues in all societies through time and place, and in light of the evolution of social complexity, has evolved into one of the major perspectives through which faculty, researchers, and students study the field. CMA also enables ethnographically informed understandings of local social contexts and identification of the political, economic, and ecological determinants of human health issues.
Hans A. Baer, PhD, has been faculty at the University of Melbourne in the Development Studies Program since 2006. Previously he taught for many years in various universities in the United States.
Merrill Singer, PhD, is professor in the departments of Anthropology and Community Medicine, and senior research scientist at Center for Health, Intervention and Prevention at the University of Connecticut. Additionally, he is faculty at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS at Yale University.
Ida Susser is professor of anthropology at Hunter College, CUNY, and adjunct professor of sociomedical sciences at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. She is founding president of the Society for the Anthropology of North America, and she served as president of the American Ethnological Society.
