Emory in Words and Pictures
| Interdisciplinary Profile | |||||
 |
Lots of anthropologists hone their talents abroad, but not so many offer the kind of scientific skills that Mark Padilla did to the Dominican Republic after his year as one of the first fellows of Emory's Center for the Study of Health, Culture, and Society. A doctoral student in cultural anthropology, Padilla cross-enrolled in the Rollins School of Public Health for a year's worth of biostatistics and epidemiology before traveling to Santo Domingo, the country's capital, to develop HIV/AIDS prevention programs. Other fellows studied intimate-partner violence, religious and cultural effects on southeast Asian women, and health and culture among Navajo women. | ||||
