Advanced Seminar
WiSe 19/20: Health inequalities in European Societies
Julia Maria Lisa Tuppat
Comments
Health inequalities refer to systematic differences in the health status, health behaviour and access to health resources between different population groups. Although the degree of these inequalities varies notably between countries, health inequalities exist in all societies: The lower an individual’s socio-economic position, the higher their risk of poor health.
In this course, students will learn about key concepts and theories in research on health and inequality as well as about the relevant methodological approaches widely used in empirical investigations in this field. Focus is set on inequalities with regard to socio-economic status in the adult population, but we will also be concerned with cross-cutting issues such as childhood, gender and migration.
The course will be structured in three parts, focussing on the following questions: (1) Which kinds of health inequalities exist? (2) How does health inequality relate to the broader phenomenon of social inequality? (3) How can we explain health inequalities within and between (European) societies?
The seminar will cover relevant sociological theories of health and illness, but will also draw upon theories from neighbouring disciplines such as social epidemiology and social psychology. Another core part of this course will deal with the application of these close
