Final Research Project Descriiption
Choose one (1) of the following diseases: bubonic plague, smallpox, leprosy, SARS, polio,
HIV/AIDS, Ebola, or H1N1. (If you have another widespread epidemic you want to write about,
please send me an email for permission.)
Explain, in detail, the etiology and epidemiology of the disease, and trace the history of how it
affected the human population during the time period in which it was prevalent. What were the
attempted medical and social interventions and preventions during that time period? You also
need to include a detailed discussion of how the disease fits into either the ecological or
evolutionary model of disease or the political-economy model of disease. Validate this
discussion with sources.
If a medical anthropologist could go back in time to contribute to the understanding of this
disease, what specific contributions would they make? You need to bring in the course concepts
in order to validate your discussion. For example, if there was stigma surrounding the disease,
what type of information about the stigma of this disease would an anthropologist research?
What cultural factors relate to the rise and spread of this disease? How would a medical
anthropologist be able to contribute to the understanding of this disease? In other words, your
paper should not be a clinical or medical discussion of the disease but an anthropological one
that uses the concepts and theories you learned about in class.
