Medical anthropology weekly: COVID-19

Issue 2: May 5-12

Compiled by Eugene Raikhel

“Medical anthropology weekly: COVID-19” is a weekly compilation of COVID-19-related materials across text, audio, and video formats focused on medical anthropology and neighboring disciplines. The project is a collaboration between Society for Medical Anthropology, Medical Anthropology Quarterly, and Somatosphere. Each is cross-posted on all three websites and distributed over multiple channels.

For this issue, we’ve included a few key earlier pieces which were left out of our first issue.
