| Kursinnehåll |
| Gender studies and health is an interdisciplinary course which provides students with basic knowledge of gender-theoretical perspectives and notions. The course presents and examines gender studies on health within a wide variety of disciplines and particularly among humanistic and social sciences. It will provide the students with a brief orientation of similarities and differences in gender related health in different time- and space-specific contexts. It will also examine feminist criticisms of certain health research and of conceptual tools in such research. The course examines cultural representations of femininity and masculinity by examining examples of practices, debates and political struggles of matter to health policies as well as feminist criticisms of traditional medical ethics. It also explores the interconnection between gender and biological sex, relative welfare and behavioural patterns on male/female health differentials in different historical and geographical contexts, and particularly in periods of rapid social change. Topics for discussion may include reproduction and new reproductive technologies, health, death and developments of medical treatments. |
