How online courses can bring the world into Africa’s classrooms

Susan Levine, Associate Professor, School of African and Gender Studies, Anthropology and Linguistics, University of Cape Town

I am an anthropologist with a special interest in establishing the field of the medical humanities. This emerging field is wide open for producing new knowledge about the history and culture of medical practices. It focuses, for instance, on representations of patients and medical landscapes in art, literature, philosophy, bioethics, and other disciplines in the arts and humanities.
