See CRICOS-registered alternativesThis subject invites students to consider the ways in which health, illness, and wellbeing are shaped by social, cultural, political, and economic forces. As opposed to focusing on individual behaviours in isolation, SOC313 explores how broad social structures – such as inequality, gender norms, medicalisation, and rampant global capitalism – shape our understanding of what it means to be ‘healthy’ and ‘well’. We use sociological theories, case studies, and contemporary controversies and social issues (from wellness influencers to abortion access in the United States) to interrogate mainstream narratives around health and wellness, encouraging students to consider a more inclusive, ethical, and socially just approach to health. Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online.
