Description:
Tony L. Whitehead, PhD, MS.Hyg.
Professor of Anthropology and Director of CuSAG
An Introduction to the Series and CuSAG's Ongoing and Planned Programs in Applied Urban Ethnographic and Community Health Sciences
This is a new CuSAG initiative with several goals in mind:
(1) To give greater visibility to the creativity and value that ethnography can bring to our understanding of urgent health and social issues and to the development of programs to address such issues;
(2) To share the innovative ways that anthropologists, and others have applied ethnography, particularly in urban and complex human situations;
(3) To bring scientific rigor and a level of standardization to the study of socio-cultural contexts, processes and meaning systems in health and other social issues; and
(4) to move towards the development of a consortium structure focused on applied urban ethnographic and community health sciences.
