The Graduate Concentration in Anthropologies of Medicine, Science, and Technology
The Graduate Concentration in Anthropologies of Medicine, Science, and Technology is unique both structurally and programmatically: Structurally, the Concentration requires that students take four approved graduate courses, one of which must be the Proseminar in Medicine, Science, and Technology. These requirements allow students to explore emergent issues of medicine, science, and technology that may inform and support their research. Students completing the Graduate Concentration in Anthropologies of Medicine, Science, and Technology must fulfill all Ph.D. requirements of their home departments, and can append "Concentration in Anthropologies of Medicine, Science, and Technology" to their curricula vitae. Programmatically, the concentration builds on an exciting set of research trajectories among faculty and students in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Irvine. The concentration is predicated on the realization that the social phenomena studied by "medical anthropology" and "science and technology studies" are in fact inextricably linked, and understanding these linked formations requires moving between disparate fields of inquiry.
Requirements
The Graduate Concentration in Anthropologies of Medicine, Science, and Technology has the following requirements (which can be completed in any order):
1) Successful completion of the Proseminar in Medicine, Science, and Technology.
2) Successful completion of three other graduate courses approved for the concentration, two of which must be offered by the Department of Anthropology.
