Michaelmas Term 2010
Theme: Health Behaviours
Overview of the Term
During Michaelmas term, the
CRASSH Health and Welfare group will tackle contemporary concerns connecting
health and behaviour. Increasingly, medicine is looking to the social sciences
and humanities for inspiration when constructing models to explain and change
behaviours that interface with health. The talks and reading sessions seek to
map and critique the ways in which notions of behaviour have developed in this
cross-disciplinary encounter.
We begin with an historical
sketch of discursive innovations which have become a normalised part of the
health research repertoire. As we unpick the emergence of this trend, we
question the link made and boundaries set between behaviour and health. We then
build on this through a consideration of alternative social theoretical
approaches that emphasise relationality and complexity.
