Our Medical and Health Humanities Master's program examines health as a comprehensive, culturally rooted phenomenon. This course encourages you to analyze philosophically what defines medical practitioners - whether doctors, nurses, or allied health professionals - and what constitutes the patient experience. We'll investigate cultural perceptions of health, illness, and disability, examining how notions like quality of life, disease, or impairment develop within different societies. Central to this program is recognizing how gender, ethnicity, sexuality, class, and other intersecting identities shape experiences of illness and disability, all within specific historical and geographical contexts. By exploring literature, media, art, philosophy, and history in relation to health, you'll engage with fundamental discussions in critical medical humanities.
