Overview
Key facts
University of Amsterdam's Medical Anthropology and Sociology winter school Materialities in Practice course takes place annually in January. These short, intensive courses are designed to offer participants both an overview of and insight into the state of the art of medical anthropological research in essential themes in health care.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- recognise various ways in which social/material and culture/nature divisions tend to
- be made in academia and beyond;
- not take the results of (biomedical) research for granted, but instead investigate the
- contexts from which it emerges;
- discern normative issues in empirical situations and their materiality;
- differentiate between the effectiveness and the effects of technologies;
- discuss the pros and cons of the methods of holism (adding aspects of reality
- together) and contrasting (situating, specifying and differentiating between versions of reality).
