Dr. Steve Ferzacca has been selected as Editor of Medical Anthropology: Cross-Cultural Studies in Health and Illness

Anthropology studies the diversity of human behaviour and life in every part of the world. Long-term ethnographic fieldwork is the hallmark of the anthropological approach to studying the human condition.

The particulars of any local life, society, or culture, however, are not isolated from global processes and flows. Contemporary anthropology examines the material, social, and cultural conditions of human behaviour and life from this locally global perspective.
