Health & Illness. Culture & Context.
In the Health Humanities module, you will explore how health and illness are understood across different social, historical, and cultural contexts. You will examine how literature, film, art, philosophy, history, and sociology reflect aesthetic, ethical, and cultural notions of health and illness — and how these are connected to medical progress, social inequality, as well as political and economic decisions. You will also gain insights into some practical aspects of healthcare, sharpening your awareness of key societal challenges.
