Course Title:
Sociology of Health and Illness
Course Description:
Provides a substantial overview of the sociology of health and illness. As no course can cover the full breadth of the field, we focus attention on several critical areas: society and disease; theoretical understandings of health disparities; medicalization and social control; medical professions and professionalization; stress, mental health, and illness. This course seeks to provide students with building blocks to explore other areas of the sociology of health and illness or medical sociology not covered in this course. Medical sociology is an important subfield of sociology with important links to public health, social psychology, psychology, and other medical fields. This course is taught with attention to this interdisciplinary perspective.
