Reviews of professor Bettina Shell-Duncan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class was so much fun! Bettina made the class interesting by bringing in a new guest lecturer every week. I learned a lot about medical anthropology and how it relates to the current COVID-19 pandemic. The class is very easy. Make sure to attend and/or listen to the lectures, do the readings, and take the weekly quiz. The class is graded CR/NC

Prof. Shell-Duncan is an expert on FGM/C, and you will leave the course with a greater depth of your understanding of the practice in the context of cultural, medical, political, anthropological, and legal perspectives. Highly recommend taking this seminar!

She is one of the best professors I've ever had. She is incredibly talented, an expert in FGM. HW load is fair for a 400 lvl class and the essays were fairly easy to write even if the subject matter was difficult. Really challenges and stretches ones understanding of the world.
