Beschreibung:
Julian M. Murchison is head of the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminology at Eastern Michigan University. He has taught a wide range of courses, including Health & Illness, Ethnography of East Africa, and Ethnographic Research & Writing. He has conducted ethnographic research in Tanzania for more than fifteen years. He is the author of Ethnography Essentials (2009).
This book provides a brief, to-the-point book that is grounded in ethnographic research, written expressly for use in medical anthropology courses-that is, structured to highlight concepts and issues typically examined in such classes and to make overt the connections between ethnographic detail and big concepts.
