The AGEM has been publishing the journal Curare since 1978. It is bilingual (German & English) and the articles are peer-reviewed. Until 2007 it had the subtitle Journal of Medical Anthropology and Transcultural Psychiatry. Since 2008 the subtitle of Curare has been Journal of Medical Anthropology. There are currently 4 issues per year.
We are pleased to announce that the digitalization of all volumes of Curare, which have so far been available in print only, has been funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). A corresponding application was approved in summer 2020, so that all previous issues will be freely accessible online via the Humboldt University of Berlin in the near future.
To ensure that all future issues will also be accessible online, we have in addition submitted a further application to convert Curare into an Open Access Journal. We will report on the progress here.
