The Anthropology & Health Journal - AHJ publishes original
articles, research and theory in the field of biocultural
medical anthropology and cultural health peer-reviewed.
This broad field views all inquiries into health and disease
in human individuals and populations from the holistic and
cross-cultural perspective distinctive of anthropology as a
discipline that is, with an awareness of species biological,
cultural, linguistic, and historical uniformity and
variation.
It encompasses studies of ethnomedicine, epidemiology,
maternal and child health, population, nutrition, human
development in relation to health and disease, health-care
providers and services, public health, health policy, and
the language and speech of health and health care. The
purpose of the ejournal is to stimulate debate on and
development of ideas and methods in medical anthropology and
to explore the relationships of medical anthropology to both
health practice and the parent discipline of anthropology.
Papers may also address general theoretical and
methodological issues relevant to anthropology, social
medicine and social epidemiology, especially in Latin
America.

Call for Papers
The American Association for
the History of Medicine invites submissions in any area
of medical history for its 82nd annual meeting, to be held
in Cleveland, OH, April 23-26, 2009. The Association
welcomes submissions on the history of health and healing;
history of medical ideas, practices, and institutions; and
histories of illness, disease, and public health.
Submissions from all eras and regions of the world are
welcome. Besides single-paper proposals, the Program
Committee accepts abstracts for sessions and for luncheon
workshops. Please alert the Program Committee Chair if you
are planning a session proposal. Individual papers for these
submissions will be judged on their own merits.
Presentations are limited to 20 minutes. Individuals wishing
to present a paper must attend the meeting. All papers must
represent original work not already published or in press.
Because the Bulletin of the History of Medicine is the
official journal of the AAHM, the Association encourages
speakers to make their manuscripts available for
consideration by the Bulletin.

encourage all applicants to use this convenient software.
