ANTH 34210 - Health and Illness in Australian Society

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

This unit provides a critical overview of health and illness in Australian society. These subjects are approached with the premise that Australian health care is an area in need of widespread critical appraisal and should not be confined to the domain of science or medicine. The activities and assessments associated with the unit have been designed to develop generic and transferable skills as well as to increase knowledge of the topics covered, which include gender and social class inequities in health; Aboriginal and migrant health; rural and urban health; economic and technological imperatives in health care; the role of alternative health in contemporary Australian health care; the role of public health and health promotion; and health care ethics.
