Beschrijving

Health and well-being are not equally distributed within society and health conveys different meanings for different individuals and social groups. In this module we will dive into the ways in which people experience and give meaning to health and illness and discuss how access to health is related to social inequalities. Students will gain insight into medical anthropological/sociological theory and they will acquire practical skills, such as conducting and analyzing interviews, and participatory observation to understand the meaning and dynamics of a healthy society.

Leerdoelen

  • Gain insight into social scientific approaches to health and illness

  • Be able to challenge presumptions about the meaning of health and illness
