Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been widely disseminated around the world. China's heritage in this regard has become a part of world heritage. The purpose of the conference will be to examine how TCM changes in diaspora contexts. The overall framework will be set within medical anthropology and the study of pluralism and symbiosis between different medical approaches to problems of curing and healing sicknesses, biomedical and worldwide. Ritual aspects of treatments will be included in the conference purview.
The conference will feature papers by Nancy Chen, Christopher Coggins, Aizhong Li, Shih-Hsiang, Mei Zhan, Qunce Zhang, Wei Zhang, Wenyi Zhang, and Yanhua Zhang.
