Anthropology Library Workshop
Did you know that we have our very own anthropology librarian? On October 19, Anne Davis will be leading a workshop for the department to talk about some new resources for anthropology research. She is responsible for making anthropology-related purchases for the libraries, and would like to learn more about the research needs of members of the department.
This workshop will thus serve two purposes: first, to provide an overview of electronic and physical library resources available for research; and second, to help the Anthropology Librarian get to know the members of the Anthropology Department (in all subdisciplines).
We look forward to seeing you. Please contact me with any questions (tamiblu@uw.edu). You can also contact Anne directly at adavey@u.washington.edu.

Sharon Kaufman
Critical Medical Humanities Speaker
"Ordinary Medicine: Making Longevity in an Aging Society"
Dr. Sharon Kaufman is a medical anthropologist whose current primary area of research
(supported by NIA/NIH) centers on the kind of people we are becoming in an aging
society in which medical technique plays a central and powerful role. She is particularly
interested in the ways in which medical techniques link ethics to intervention and
consumption, and is currently investigating the ways in which life-extending medical
procedures in late life shape knowledge and practices surrounding normal aging, lifespan,
family and obligation. Her many publications include her prizewinning book, . . And a
Time to Die: How American Hospitals Shape the End of Life (2005).
This talk is sponsored by Critical Medical Humanities, the Department of Anthropology, and the Program on Values in Society.
