HEALTH & ILLNESS IN SOCIETY
Component: Lecture
Health is not just an objective, biological phenomenon. Indeed, social factors, including discrimination, social class, and communities, shape individuals’ health and well-being. This course explores those social aspects of health and illness. It does so through examining such issues as the social causation of disease, health inequalities, the experience of illness, the structure of medicine, and current health policies.
