Scope and content
File consists of Jerome Barkow's notes for his Type 2 Diabetes and the Murky Issues of Identity and Blame presentation. The notes talk about type 2 diabetes, explaining the causes and impact it has on people's health, how it may become a stigmatized disability, much like HIV/AIDS and obesity are in Western society. Diabetics will become stigmatized, because people will regard them as personally responsible for getting diabetes in the first place, and being a drain on society in general. Public health campaigns would only serve to further ostracize diabetics for not having made healthier choices, both prior to their diagnosis and in the present. As Barkow states, diabetes isn't stigmatized yet, but he believes it to be a prospective study for anthropologists to look out for.
