Networks: Medical Anthropology Network

The EASA Medical Anthropology Network was established at the 9th Biennial Conference of EASA in Bristol . It responds to the need for an open communication platform expressed by medical anthropologists from all over Europe during the two previous Biennial Conferences of EASA (in Copenhagen 2002 and Vienna 2004).

A steering group elected at the meeting in Vienna in 2004 prepared the establishment of the new network. The steering group comprised Els van Dongen (the Netherlands ), Elisabeth Hsu ( United Kingdom ), Hansjoerg Dilger (Germany/United States) and Agita Luse (United Kingdom/Latvia). The steering group prepared for and conducted the business meeting and the elections held at the EASA Biennial Conference in Bristol 2006.

The committee serves a two year term. Committee members may be elected for a maximum of two consecutive terms.
