[Linganth] compiled suggestions on language, health, and migration

[Arnold, Lynnette]

Dear colleagues -

With many thanks to everyone who sent me suggestions, I am pasting below
the compiled list of readings for undergraduates on the intersection of
language, health, and migration. (Readings are listed simply in the order
they were suggested).


1) Willie Ramirez case:
https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hblog20081119.000463/full/



2) Doctor perspective on medical interpretation:
https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/full/10.1377/hlthaff.27.6.1695



3) Medical interpreter perspective:
https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/full/10.1377/hlthaff.27.6.1701



4) Faulstich Orellana's stuff on child brokers includes medical interviews
and material about policy.  Good stuff for class discussion, esp. if you
have second generation immigrants in your group:

(I decided to include this piece: Reynolds, Jennifer and Orellana, Marjorie
Faulstich. 2009. “New Immigrant Youth Interpreting in White Public
Space.” *American
Anthropologist *111(2): 211-223.)



5) Seth Holmes' "Fresh Fruit Broken Bodies" chapter 5 is pretty terrific,
although I recommend squeezing in the whole book, if you can.
