Teaching Pathographies of Mental Illness
This paper describes the content and evolution of a fourth-year course for medical students on teaching pathographies of mental illness. (It is a follow-up to Nathan Carlin’s Pathographies of Mental Illness that appeared as an Element in the Bioethics and Neuroethics series published by Cambridge University Press.) The course originally centered on classic (and some contemporary) memoirs; however, responding to student evaluations, newer material…
Network of Ethical Relationships model for global North–South population health research
Although a substantial body of literature exists that details how to address ethical issues and provide oversight for traditional research study designs, there currently is very little guidance available to researchers on how to deal with the unique and novel challenges that arise when conducting research that goes outside of these well-defined boundaries. One such example is North-South (N-S) team-based global population health (GPH) research. T…
Drum Culture
This paper represents a critical analysis of the historical and contemporary pressures that have relegated the Grenadian drum culture to the backstage and the efforts of a community group to keep this tradition from vanishing. The analysis is the result of a collaborative ethnographic approach, which consisted of an exploration of the drum culture through the utilization of life-history interviews, in-depth reflections about the historical meanin…
Engaging Faith-Based Communities in Grenada
This article highlights the value of research as a tool for strengthening the partnership efforts of the Grenadian National AIDS Directorate (NAD also referred to as the Directorate) with the faith-based community (FBC) as one of their strategies in the prevention of HIV/AIDS and the stigmatization of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV/AIDS). Their partnership had been in existence for two years when this research was implemented
Commentary
Applied anthropologists involved in poverty research often face unique challenges in developing approaches to more effectively inform and help shape the policy making process at the macro level. Significant findings from micro level analyses ultimately reflect real world issues and experiences of the population studied; once shared, reciprocal feedback can potentially help to refocus or clarify macro social policy issues, thus effecting change an…
Indigence and the Informal Sector
This paper explores the symbiotic relationship between indigence and the informal sector in Chile. Based on two complimentary studies of the PUENTE Program, which aims at the eradication of extreme poverty, and building on a model that explained the logic of the rural domestic units, the paper proposes a new model for understanding the economic logic underlying the urban domestic units (UDUs). These units represent the urban and semi-rural famili…
Survival Always Trumps Ideology
Determining the extent to which democracy has taken root in Latin America represents a great challenge amidst the political changes seen in the region in the last decade. This paper explores the political views of families living in extreme poverty in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago de Chile, by analyzing their socioeconomic and political realities within the framework that establishes the characteristics of a democratic government. This long…
Understanding Resilience in Adolescent Girls
Child resilience is viewed as the capacity to use internal and external resources to successfully master stage-specific developmental issues. Smith and Carlson (1997) concluded that resilience can be described in three ways: 1) equated with coping, defined as efforts to restore or maintain equilibrium in the presence of significant stress; 2) conceptualized as the ability to recover in the face of trauma; and 3) defined as protective factors or m…
Mental Health Implications of Welfare Reform and Florida’s Wages Program
The Federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) in 1996 set in motion changes to the welfare system which represent a tremendous challenge not only for the states as implementers of this reform, but also for the children and families who are directly affected by the new law. The National Center for Children in Poverty has called our attention to the fact that while two-thirds of the recipients of the former we…
