In this penultimate lesson, Kelly Fagan Robinson, a Medical Anthropologist at the University of Cambridge, will explain anthropological contributions to establishing cancer risk. You will learn:
- How anthropologists' long-term field research (also known as longue durée) with particular groups of people help us to better understand the ways in which cancer risk operates in and impacts upon people's everyday lives,
- Why long-term research is so valuable to gaining contextual understanding of risk,
- The kinds of non-clinical pressures and priorities which contribute to the publics' understanding of risk.
