AN EXPERT IN MI FIELD

In anthropology we can focus on many different topics about what is and what makes the human being. The areas that are most interesting for me is medical anthropology and gender anthropology, so I would like to talk about a teacher on my faculty, Michelle Sadler, who has a master on gender studies and a master of science in medical anthropology in Oxford University. He has done a lot of investigations and publications about how women and men face the health system. I’m deeply interested on her studies about obstetric violence, because is a terrible problem that has existed since the birth was medicalized, and that recently in this decade has come to light as a health problem that affects to women and their new born child’s. Definitely she has done a big contribution to the field, and has opened the discussion on a problem that in our country is not yet possible to legislate, unlike other parts of the continent.
