The program is intended to provide a basic education in medical anthropology, in particular for physicians or other health professionals, and can be completed in an intensive 12 months. Participants in the Medical Anthropology program are united by a shared commitment to long-term ethnographic engagement with local cultural and social worlds, by a common concern with the practical relations between ethnographic research, medical knowledge, and public health policies, and finally by a common emphasis on the importance of social theory in medical anthropology. The Department of Anthropology at Harvard University offers training in ethnographic media and hypermedia production through its state-of-the-art high-definition digital Media Anthropology Laboratory. At its core is an intensive year-long course in “Sensory Ethnography.” Over the course of a calendar year, students receive instruction in ethnographic media practices, producing a variety of original digital video, still photographic, hypermedia, and sound works. Advanced graduate students are also provided with training and equipment to produce substantial media ethnographies in conjunction with their doctoral dissertations. Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology The Peabody Museum: (1) engages in ongoing anthropological
discourse through exhibitions, workshops, symposia, and publications;
(2) allows faculty and students to draw upon the collections to enrich
classes and research; and The Department is an interdisciplinary basic science department of Harvard Medical School. Its faculty of anthropologists, sociologists, historians, ethicists, social policy specialists, and clinicians teach and conduct research about the social, cultural and moral aspects of illness and health care, with a special emphasis on reducing health disparities and improving the quality of medical care. The Asia Center is a focal point for interaction between Asian intellectual, artistic, political, and business circles and the Harvard community. The Center has two affiliated programs. The South Asia Initiative is currently facilitating scholarly exchanges and sponsoring lectures at Harvard by distinguished academic, governmental, and business leaders, among other projects. The Global Equity Initiative seeks to advance the understanding and address the challenges of equitable global development. The Initiative brings together scholars, policy-makers and practitioners from around the world to address global poverty, economic inequality, and human insecurity. Rockerfeller Center for Latin American Studies The programs at the Center enlist faculty participation to enhance teaching, research and understanding of Latin America at Harvard, as well as to build links between Harvard and Latin American institutions. The Center's outreach program is an extension of resources available at Harvard to individuals, groups and institutions in the Cambridge, Boston and New England area. Its mission being educational, the Center is interested in establishing relations with K-12 schools and institutions of higher learning, as well as community centers. Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies The Reischauer Institute supports research on Japan and provides a forum for related academic activities and the exchange of ideas. It seeks to stimulate scholarly and public interest in Japan and Japanese studies at Harvard and around the world. The Institute maintains close contact with a number of Japan-related institutions in the region. These include the Japanese Consulate of Boston, the Japan Society of Boston, and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The Institute has supported a wide variety of Japan-related artistic endeavors for the general public. Japanese film series, plays, poets, calligraphers, Nobel Laureate novelists, musicians and dancers have all appeared under Institute auspices. Center for Middle Eastern Studies The Center offers a rich and varied annual program of lectures and seminars; houses several research projects , and a small reference collection; hosts scholarly conferences; and serves as a center for scholarly interchange in New England; supports and administers a monograph series. The Center's outreach program works through several initiatives, among them: workshops for educators and/or the public on topics related to the Middle East and Islam; visits to schools to work with teachers and students, through assemblies, guest talks, on-site professional development workshops or at international culture festivals; and development of excellent curriculum resources where they do not already exist. Fairbank Center for East Asian Research The Fairbank
Center sponsors nine ongoing seminars on themes ranging from East
Asian art history to Chinese current events, and organizes research
projects and major international conferences on a wide variety
of scholarly topics. It also provides a forum for regular dialogue
between the academic and policy communities in China and the United
States. Program on Central Asia and the Caucasus Among the goals of the Program are to: (1) provide financial and practical support for collaborative research projects involving Harvard scholars and their Central Asian and Caucasian colleagues, thus promoting unique research opportunities in Central Asia, and benefiting scholarship in institutions in the region by exposure to new ideas and Western approaches; (2) contribute to the dissemination and refinement of knowledge of the Central Asian region through support for public forums and publications, including contributions which introduce the region to a non-specialized audience, which build a foundation for study in this underdeveloped field, and which help the knowledge of specialists to serve the practical ends of business, government, and international development; and (3) help bring scholarship to bear on the resolution of the pressing social problems facing the region after the collapse of the Soviet system and the advent of a new period in Central Asian history. The Center is the largest international research center within Harvard University’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences. The Center is structured to encourage the highest practical level of personal and intellectual interaction among a diverse community of scholars and practitioners. It is distinctive in its recognition that knowledge is a product not only of individual academic research, but also of vigorous, sustained intellectual dialogue among scholars and nonacademic experts. To stimulate this dialogue, the Center sponsors a wide array of seminars, research programs, workshops, and conferences. The Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies is dedicated to fostering the study of European history, politics and society at Harvard. Through our graduates, who go on to teach others about Europe and to many other roles in society, the Center sustains America's knowledge base about Europe, an important contribution to international understanding in difficult times. The agenda for 2005-2006 offers a wealth of events with appeal to wide audiences. Among the Initiative's missions are: (a) to facilitate scholarly exchanges among Harvard faculty and students from different Schools and departments, other South Asia specialists in the New England area, and visiting academics and public figures from South Asia; (b)support faculty from various Harvard Schools traveling to South Asia to work with academic and governmental leaders on key strategic, economic, environmental, and political issues; and (c) underwrite the use of new technologies to foster intellectual and academic linkages between Harvard and partnering institutions in South Asia.
