'Theories and Methods in Applied Biocultural Anthropology'

University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida, U.S.A. October 19-20, 2007

(Featured Speakers: William Dressler, David Himmelgreen, Thomas Leatherman, Daniel Sellen)

The purpose of the conference is to make available to students and faculty of anthropology (and allied disciplines) a series of presentations on theories and methods in applied biocultural anthropology. This effort is a response to the increasing fragmentation of anthropology into cultural and biological segments. The presenters will discuss theoretical issues (such as political-economic approaches to health), applied biocultural anthropology (the nutritional effects of globalization, support for optimal infant and young child feeding), and
methodological approaches (such as cultural consensus analysis and methods to study maternal and childhood
health and food insecurity).
