1   Link   Cultures of Health. A historical anthology
Cultures of Health: A Historical Anthology is a website dedicated to making available to students and researchers an eclectic mix of sources to stimulate historical conversations about the cultural dimensions of disease, health and medicine. The site is designed to be especially suited for the presentation and discussion of research “fragments” — a venue for graduate students and senior undergraduates, as well as more established researchers, to present and discuss ideas and sources that are not yet worked into the complex, finished “whole” of paper, article, thesis, or book.
The Cultures of Health anthology and database are generously sponsored by the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Ontario Research Foundation, important sources of Canadian public support for the development of research infrastructure, as well as by the University of Windsor and its Department of History, and the Canada Research Chairs program.
