Thanks to everyone who joined us at our meeting at the Society for Medical Anthropology conference last week. The conference itself was really very impressive; very well organized, extremely well attended (over 1,000 people!) and full of great panels and plenary presentations. We should have a number of posts on the conference coming soon. For those who weren’t able to attend, the SMA should be posting videos of the plenary sessions on the conference website in the very near future.
Following our meeting, we will hopefully be adding a number of new contributors shortly. We also hope to start running several new types of posts on a regular basis.
Also, it looks like there has already been a new medical anthropology blog founded as a result of the conference: Critical Medical Anthropology that Matters was set up by Alisse Waterston of John Jay College of Criminal Justice. We’re happy to welcome them to the anthropological blogosphere.
