Why do health inequalities exist? How do gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity or class affect health? How do climate change and technology impact health and illness?
Written in a clear, student-friendly style, this is an exploration of the key sociological debates, themes and theories as they relate to health. Taking a global perspective, it is packed with comparative examples, case studies and activities, showing how sociology can answer complex questions about health and illness and make you a better practitioner.
In this book you will:
· Build your foundational knowledge with clear discussions of the research and perspectives within the sociology of health, along with a historical overview of the subject.
· Read chapters based on a diverse range of key themes from gender and sexuality to health inequalities, race, class, mental health and ageing.
· Apply what you’ve learnt across different cutting-edge contexts and real-life situations, including pandemics, policy, sport, and technology.
This textbook provides valuable insights for anyone studying health and social care, nursing or who is interested in the social aspects of health.
