The MAE Conference 2025 is an international hybrid conference centred
around the theme of Redefinitions of Health and Well-being.
Recent events of global importance have accelerated the need to redefine
ideas of health, healing and well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic has
highlighted the fragility of healthcare systems, questioning the hegemony
of the so-called Global North in addressing global health issues. The
intensification of previous conflicts and wars, and the emergence of new
ones, are shaping socio-cultural and political relations in societies in
all parts of the world.
In an era defined by global interconnectedness, postcolonial dynamics and
calls for planetary health, the conference aims to foster dialogues within
and beyond the discipline of medical anthropology, with other disciplines
that engage in questions of health and well-being, such as environmental
studies, science and technology studies, critical disability studies,
gender and feminist studies as well as critical global health, among
others. We invite anthropological and critical research, aiming to create a
space of encounter for scholars, practitioners and activists alike.
To create space for dialogue and discussion, the conference is structured
around seven streams:
1.
Health and/in Crisis
2.
Health and Environment
3.
Disability and Chronicity
4.
Gender, Sexuality and Reproduction
5.
Medicine and Technologies
6.
Plural Perspectives on Health and Healing
7.
Doing Medical Anthropology
