The Science of Healing: Tibetan Medicine as Local Practice, National Heritage, and Global Brand
with Sienna Craig, Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology, Dartmouth College
This second event in the Himalaya Program’s Fall Event Series will be November 7th, 2016 at 5:00pm-7:00pm
This talk engages these points of tension, discussing how Tibetan medicine remains at once a crucial form of local health care across Tibetan communities, a manifestation of national identity, and, increasingly, a globally available form of ‘traditional’ medicine in the 21st century. This event is sponsored by the Himalaya Program, the Contemporary Tibetan Studies Program, and the Department of Anthropology.
