Geographies of Health and Wellbeing Seminar Series
Department of Geography Durham University
Changing Health Geographies: multilevel models and haunted places
Prof Graham Moon, University of Southampton
Wednesday 18th November 2009, 12-2pm
Room 010, Geography Department, Science Site, Durham University
Chair: Dr Mylene Riva
Prof Graham Moon is a pioneer in Health Geography and a key actor in
triggering the subdiscipline to shift from Medical Geography, mainly concerned
with diseases and the interests of the medical world, towards a geography of
health with an increased interest in well-being and broader social models of
health and health care.
In this seminar, Prof Moon will discuss the past, present and future of health
geography and the issues and challenges that the sub-discipline addresses
and faces, drawing on examples from his own work ranging from multilevel
analyses of complex area effects on health-related behaviour to visual and
textual encounters with the haunted spaces of former psychiatric asylums.
The seminar will be followed by a light lunch buffet.
