The first one is next Wednesday from noon and will be a discussion about competing and complementing accounts of the history of 'health-related behaviour' and 'life style' as analytical categories. All welcome! CRASSH Health and Welfare Reading Group Michaelmas Term 2010 Theme: Health Behaviours During Michaelmas term, the CRASSH Health and Welfare group will tackle contemporary concerns connecting health and behaviour. Increasingly, medicine is looking to the social sciences and humanities for inspiration when constructing models to explain and change behaviours that interface with health. The talks and reading sessions seek to map and critique the ways in which notions of behaviour have developed in this cross-disciplinary encounter. We begin with an historical sketch of discursive innovations which have become a normalised part of the health research repertoire. As we unpick the emergence of this trend, we question the link made and boundaries set between behaviour and health. We then build on this through a consideration of alternative social theoretical approaches that emphasise relationality and complexity. Sessions are held in the CRASSH building on Mill Street from 12.00 - 14.00 unless otherwise stated.
