Description

The aim of the course is to introduce students to some of the current issues in the fields of contemporary health and healthcare, and to think through the issues of power that make health a monumental challenge. The course will also examine how the internet and social media have revolutionised the way we deliver healthcare, advocacy, activism, and health promotion, while at the same time they produce new challenges.

The course will be exciting because it will require students to actually build a website, a Facebook page and a mobile phone app for advocacy, healthcare, activism and health promotion.
