Geographies of Health - GEOP350
The health of individuals, communities and whole populations is inextricably linked to the places where they live. This unit explores understandings of health and well-being, social determinants, health inequalities and the role geography plays in mediating health. The unit investigates the impacts of the biophysical, social, economic and political environments on health, and the resulting geographies of infectious and degenerative disease in both developed and developing societies. Exploring policy options for addressing geographical differences in health is a central theme of the unit.
