How health and wellbeing are socially defined is a culturally and historically shifting arrangement. Medicines that were cures in one era are seen as dangerous in another. What a disease is, or how a state of wellbeing is defined, changes across time and place. Issues of class, race, gender, sexuality, age and location shape the experience of health and disease, the design of services, how accessible they are, and whether a problem is even considered real.
In the Health, Wellbeing and Society major, you’ll explore the changing meaning of health and wellbeing over time and across cultures, and how concepts such as unequal access, opportunity, wealth and wellbeing are viewed and managed socially and culturally in Australia and around the world. To then deepen and broaden your knowledge, you’ll examine health and wellbeing through the lens of a range of social science disciplines, including anthropology, health, Indigenous studies, media studies, psychology, sociology, politics and international relations. As a graduate, you’ll be equipped with a holistic understanding of the intersections between society, equality and health.
