    Margaret S Boone, Thomas WeaverARTICLEPracticing Anthropology1989

    The issue of homelessness symbolizes and incorporates some of the most urgent public concerns in the United States today, and for the next several decades. Homelessness represents an intersection of five major public policy areas: first, the issue of growing poverty in the face of industrial prosperity, a widening income gap between rich and poor, and the disparity between educational preparation and occupational requirements; second, the issues …

  • Role Development Of The Hospital Anthropologist

    The expansion of roles for anthropologists into public and private sectors has been relatively limited with respect to the large, community general hospital. To date most anthropologists who have worked in hospitals or other clinical settings have done so in association with a university medical school or school of public health. Most anthropologists who have interacted with community hospitals have done so, for example, through a citizens' actio…

These prob…
