Description: Each year the Department hosts between two and ten
scholars and clinicians who wish to develop their understanding of medical
anthropology. These independent research fellows, from the United States
and other countries, join the Department for a semester or a year. During
their stay, fellows audit courses in social medicine, anthropology and
other interests; participate in seminars and events of both the Department
and the wider University; and consult with Social Medicine faculty members.
Usually fellows come to work on a certain project, using departmental
and Harvard library resources. Many maintain a connection with the Department
and become collaborators on new Social Medicine research projects.
Fellows pay a fee for this opportunity. The Department provides shared
office space; a Harvard University officer's card which allows access
to library collections and Harvard events; admission (as auditors) to
medical anthropology courses, research seminars, lectures and other
post-doctoral training activities.
