Call for Papers | Curare Teaching Forum (Special Issue)

In issue 48(2025)2 of Curare , we will continue our Teaching Forum series in form of a special issue and therefore ask medical anthropologists about the texts, books, films or other media that they like to use in teaching.

We are interested in the following questions:

        Why is your favourite text or medium especially suitable for teaching medical anthropology?

        What can be demonstrated or discussed particularly well using the text or medium in question?

The format of the texts are open, they could include short essayistic texts, theoretical review articles and personal reviews of many years of teaching experience. 

Anyone interested in writing a text in German or English is welcome to contact the editorial board at curareteachingforum@agem.de.

Deadline for submissions is November 3, 2025.
