Event Details : 'Tibetan and Western Medicine' talk by Dr. Mona Schrempf, Humboldt University of Berlin
This talk discusses the intertwined complexities between Tibetan and Western medicine. Ethnographic research on clinical encounters, pharmaceutical production and consumption of Tibetan medicine reveals the intricate and diverse relationships between medicine, science and religion in different settings. The lecture addresses a number of questions about what Tibetan medicine entails, how it differs from ritual healing while engaging ritual practices, and how knowledge and efficacy are validated and translated between Tibetan and Western medical notions and practices.


Chair: Dr. Mala V. Thapar
