Critical Anthropology of Health Caucus-Rudolph Virchow Award

The professional award honors an article and the graduate and undergraduate student awards, a paper written in the spirit of Rudolf Virchow, that is deemed by the judges to best reflect, extend or advance critical perspectives in medical anthropology. These are materialist approaches that emphasize the social and political economic nature of health, disease and healing, and which embrace both micro and macro perspectives.

Papers that have been submitted to a journal or edited volume, but thathave not yet benefited from review, may be included in this category. Theses and dissertations cannot be accepted.
