UM-Ann Arbor faculty members offer coursework and training in five distinct areas of medical anthropology: Gender and Health, Medical Anthropology and History, Global Public Health, Science and Technology Studies, and Biocultural Medical Anthropology. Faculty members offer strong area studies training in health and illness issues in Africa and the Middle East (Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Lebanon, Madagascar, Nigeria, Sudan, and Syria). Program in Anthropology and Social Work The Program is an interdepartmental degree program leading to a Ph.D. degree in Social Work and Anthropology. It is is designed to prepare students for various careers in research and teaching, and certain types of policy development responsibilities in the social welfare field. It focuses primarily on research, knowledge development, and on applying social science theories and methods to solving social problems. The Program is a graduate certificate program that will commence in Fall 2003. It will train students in the theoretical and practical implications of working with and from objects (broadly defined), and will be explicitly cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural, and cross-unit in orientation. It will prepare students for careers in which objects are essential texts, including careers in museums, archives, universities, and the entertainment industry. Joint Degree Program in Natural Resources & Environment and Anthropology The dual degree program confers the Master of Science (M.S.) degree from the School of Natural Resources and Environment and the Master of Arts (M.A.) from the Department of Anthropology. The program provides students with the analytical skills, scientific and theoretical foundation, and socio-cultural understanding needed to become effective practitioners in the fields of natural resources and anthropology. The dual degree program produces graduates well-trained in cultural approaches to environmental issues. Center for the Ethnography of Everyday Life The Center
is devoted to the study of working families in the United States. Its research
and training start from the well documented changes in family and work
life among Middle Class Americans. The Center's faculty affirm
these changes point to shifts in the very meaning of our cultural categories
of family and work. Two of the projects the Center is currently
involved in are: "Rural Parents & Urban Children; Place, Work,
Migration, and the Natal Home" (explores the transformation of
work & family culture across generations) and "The Time Crunch:
Managing Home and Work in a Fast-Paced Society" (addresses
parents and school-age children's expectations and experience of
the dilemmas of managing their work and home life).
Center for Human Growth and Development The Center was established to further the understanding of the complex processes by which human beings grow and develop. The long-range goal of research and training at the Center is to optimize children's physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development. Among its projects are: Children in Poverty (regarding the processes by which poverty affects children's development); Development and Mental Health (concerning the interplay between biological, psychological, and social factors in the development of mental health and in the etiology of psychopathology); Culture and Development (examines the processes families and schools employ to enculturate, educate, and prepare their children for participation in their societies); and Brain/Behavior Relationships in the Developing Child (explores how early biologic and environmental risks combine to affect the developing brain and associated behavioral systems). Center for Afroamerican and African Studies The
Center is one of the few programs in the country to combine African
Studies with the study of the people and cultures of the African
diaspora. As part of its community outreach, the E-Mentor
Program seeks to close the digital divide by matching disadvantaged
high school students in the Ann Arbor area with University of
Michigan student mentors. The Center's Program
Coordinator is a frequent visitor to local schools and libraries
where she introduces children to African American, Afro-Caribbean,
and African life through folktales, internet activities, and
short presentations. The Center's South
African Initiative Office pursues
linkages between the post secondary education communities of
South Africa and the University of Michigan. Initial goals include
offering graduate and post-graduate training to Black faculty
and students from South Africa and encouraging UM faculty and
students to engage in joint research with South African scholars.
Among the Program's goals (within the International Institute) are: to offer broad-ranging undergraduate and graduate academic programs in Latin American and Caribbean Studies, to maintain an active partnerships with scholars from Latin America, and to maintain an active partnerships with scholars from Latin America. The Program makes specific efforts at community outreach by making the its resources available to regional K-12 teachers and students. Through a collaborative effort with Wayne RESA Middle School Social Studies Teacher Network, educational professionals and content area experts provide sustained professional development directly related to what middle school social studies teachers do every day in their classrooms. Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies The Center is concerned to assemble the contextual expertise necessary for the study of the Middle East and North Africa at all levels as well as foster research on all important aspects of the past, present and future of Middle Eastern and North African societies. In addition, the Center looks beyond the University community to explain and interpret the Middle East and North Africa to the people of the state of Michigan. It provides public lectures, symposia and other events intended for the surrounding communities. The Center works closely with teachers and others to make sure that accurate, up-to-date knowledge of the region is widely diffused in Michigan and beyond, especially in schools. The Center also works with the important communities of Middle Eastern origin resident in Michigan toward the larger goals of increased tolerance and understanding. Center for Russian and Eastern European Studies With a faculty
of over sixty area specialists and visiting scholars in the humanities,
social sciences,
and professions, the Center is recognized for its regional programs
in Central European (particularly Polish and Czech) studies, Russian
studies, and Southeast European studies. The Center organizes
over forty public programs each year (e.g., lectures, conferences,
and film screenings) and provides instructional and informational services
to midwestern schools and colleges, media, and businesses. Among
its outreach programs are curriculum units, teacher tours to the regions,
internet resources for social science teachers, internet resources
for Russian language teachers, and an international program of "E-Pals."
The Center, established in the Fall of 1947, assists faculty and students in a variety of disciplines to pursue research on both traditional and contemporary Japan as well as to communicate that knowledge to students, other scholars, business, labor, government, and the general public. As part of its outreach program, it offers the Japan Kit - a teaching resource appropriate for grades K - 12 - free to educators in Michigan, northwestern Ohio, and northern Indiana. The Center's "Rivers Project" is an interdisciplinary project being developed in collaboration with schools and organizations in Izumo, Japan.. The School of Public Health seeks to create and disseminate knowledge with the aim of preventing disease and promoting the health of populations in the United States and worldwide. It is especially concerned with poor, often minority populations, who suffer disproportionately from illness and disability. Among health science schools, it is unique in that it places a strong emphasis on disease prevention and health promotion. It is organized into various academic departments: Biostatistics, Environmental Health Sciences, Epidemiology, Health Behavior and Health Education, Health Management and Policy, and Interdepartmental Concentrations. Department
of Obstetrics & Gynecology The Department provides consultation, comprehensive treatment planning and a broad range of services for patients with normal and high-risk pregnancies and for a broad range of gynecology, including oncology and reproductive endocrinology. The gynecologic oncology program is an integral unit of the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center. Additional areas of interest include: gynecologic urology, menopause, in vitro fertilization, pelvic pain, premenstrual syndrome, prenatal diagnostics and genetics counseling, adolescent gynecology, care of the mentally handicapped, and ovulation induction. The Museum is one of the major archaeological research and teaching facilities in the United States. It does not maintain exhibit space and its collections are usually not available for public viewing. But its web site is designed to make available images and information about selected collections. The Museum also provides information about its publications, archeological site lists for the state of Michigan and NAGRPA inventories. The Center's mission is to provide students, specialists and the public at large with expert resources and a deeper understanding of issues ranging from today’s headlines to time-honored questions of value and meaning relating to China. The Center has a long history of engagement in public service projects ranging from textbook publication to service as presidential advisors. Noteworthy among its outreach programs is the China Mirror Project which provides uptodate expert information on important topics. The Center also uses its own funds to help schools in southeast Michigan acquire teaching materials on China.
