Session Abstract
Participants on this panel take a Critical Medical Anthropology (CMA; Baer, Singer and Susser 2003; Castro and Singer 2004) approach to understanding health, disease, illness experience and health care policies and practices in an unequal world. Their work emphasizes the importance of political and economic forces, including the complexities of power relations and social exclusion, on what they see on the ground, in the local settings where they conduct critical medical ethnographic research in resource-poor areas and/or among vulnerable populations. Informed by this perspective, each contributor offers a case study from her/his own ethnographic project, taking us from theoretical framework to research design and findings to actual or potential application on-the-ground with a particular focus on women’s health. Challenging unfounded claims that critical medical ethnography can document but not address disparities, the projects described here demonstrate the ways in which ethnography can be operationalized towards improving the delivery and quality of care, and moving towards more equitable and just systems. To help facilitate dialogue, this session will be structured as follows: introductory remarks by discussant; presentation of 4 case studies; discussant comments; and audience participation (Q&A).
