Abstract
The panel organized by the SfAA International Committee in San Francisco was focused on the topic "Are We Learning from history: Public Health Research, Policy and Programs." Participants gave the audience the opportunity to reflect upon five questions. The papers were: "Picking Mangos from the Trees: Is the Timing Right?" (Elizabeth Guillette, University of Arizona), "Are Lessons Learned? The Case of a Women's Empowerment Project in Madagascar" (Gisele Maynard Tucker); "Applications of Medical Anthropology to Epidemiological Research: Collaboration and Consternation" (Deborah O. Erwin, University of Arkansas Medical Sciences); "Tolerance toward Cultural Difference in Public Health: Contributions of Medical Anthropology to Ethical Relativism" (Raymond Massé, Laval University); and "Applied Anthropology: the ‘Black Duck’ of Impact Assessment" (Alain Anciaux, Brussels University).
