From the “Introduction” to the website:
Welcome to Public Health in Latin America: a Research Encyclopedia. This web resource was originally developed by students at Macalester College, as part of the seminar course Public Health in Latin America in 2019. Our goal is twofold. First, we seek to offer introductory essays on selected key topics on public health in modern Latin America, spanning from the late 1800s to the present. Second, we wish to guide scholars, at all levels, towards additional resources for research, whether written in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. We draw on the expertise of an international community of scholars in such fields as the history of public health and medicine, medical anthropology, and health policy.
This project was featured in the first annual DLA Showcase in November, 2019.
