An experiment in collaborative event ethnography (CEE), this workshop brought together Tibetan medicine practitioners (amchi) from India, Nepal, and Tibetan regions of the People's Republic of China, with anthropologists who have been working with amchi for decade…

Informed Consent in Cross-cultural Perspective: Clinical Research in the Tibetan Autonomous Region, PRC
Having A “Safe Delivery”: Conflicting Views from Tibet
In the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) of the People's Republic of China (PRC) maternal mortality ratios remain among the highest in the world. Although traditional Tibetan medical theory, practice, and pharmacology include information on maternal and child health care, Tibet is one of the few societies in the world that does not have traditional birth attendants or midwives. Using ethnographic methods, we gathered data from individual interviews…

Efforts to conduct Western clinical research in non-Western medical settings with little or no familiarity with such methodologies are on the rise, but documented accounts of the ways that biomedical science requires negotiation and translation across cultures are not plentiful. This article adds to this literature through analysis of an NICHD-funded collaborative research effort in women's health carried out in the Tibetan Autonomous Region of t…
