I have given lectures on Goods, and Services as part of the Anthropologies of Contemporary Capitalism at the University of Cambridge, on The financialisation of global health at the University of Edinburgh and on the Power of Markets in Pandemics at the University of Oslo. I have also been a guest lecturer on Anthropological Approaches to Economic Value, at the University of Warwick and on Anthropology through Film at the Sutton Trust Summer School in Cambridge. In 2019 I taught an introductory course on Economic Anthropology at the State University of Haiti. In 2020 I contributed a short video on global health financing to a graduate course on “The Politics of Pandemics” at the University of Oslo and in 2023 I organized a 3.5 week summer school for global health PhD students on the Power of Markets in Pandemics.
I like to incorporate Wikipedia editing into teaching, to allow students to share their knowledge and to provide them with first-hand insights into the changing nature of online publishing. You can find a how-to-guide and a brief assessment of using Wikipedia editing as part of teaching here.
Anthropology is an exciting field for open-access publishing. These are a few high-quality resources that students around the world can use for free. Anthropology students may want to start with the journals and book websites marked with an *.
