Additional information
Rachel Cooper was awarded an AHRC Research Network Grant on Concepts of Health, Illness and Disease (Sept 2008-March 2011). She organised a workshop on Culture Bound Syndromes at Lancaster University, July 2009, which brought together philosophers, historians of medicine and medical anthropologists. By considering Culture Bound Syndromes the workshop sought to understand how some disorders can be created and destroyed by cultural changes. Papers from this workshop were published in a special issue of Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences (2010, Vol. 41), with an introduction co-authored by Cooper and Havi Carel (UWE).
