Health
Our research focuses on how the social, political and economic organisation of societies is fundamental to the health of peoples, other species and the environment. From the day-to-day management of living with chronic disease, to the global upheaval of pandemics, how health is experienced and managed is deeply affected by the structure of societies and economies, and in turn deeply affects how societies function.
We are variously interested in ascertaining, analysing and intervening upon how health is understood and experienced across a wide array of empirical domains. Using a variety of social science methods from policy analysis and in-depth interviewing to ethnography and creative arts-based methods, our research advances both cutting-edge understandings of how health matters in the world, and real-world implications for stakeholders across health policy and practice.
