Embodied Inequalities of the Anthropocene Virtual Teaching Tool Launch

The Embodied Inequalities of the Anthropocene is a Wellcome Trust funded collaboration between UFRGS Brazil, CIESAS Mexico and UCL in the UK. It brings together environmental, indigenous, biosocial, multispecies, gender and theoretical expertise in Medical Anthropology, to examine how the Anthropocene impacts on human health. We are committed to developing research and learning capacity within Medical Anthropology in the UK and Latin America, fostering intellectual exchanges between diverse disciplinary traditions and knowledges. In doing so, we aim to collaboratively understand the context of and to address the consequences for human health and wellbeing of unfettered economic growth, environmental degradation and climate change, and the related social, economic and ecological disorders that characterise this geological period, defined as the Anthropocene.

Come and join us to celebrate the launch of our virtual open access teaching tool, a multilingual and multi-media resource that that has been over two years in production and involving collaboration with medical anthropologists in Brazil, Mexico and UK and which includes seminars, podcasts, films, articles and student guides.
