SPSC 2205

This course explores health from a sociological perspective, covering the differences between the social, health promotion, and biomedical models of health. This course draws on the social model of health to explore the social determinants of health, Canada's health care system, and social constructions of health across contexts, including within the institutions of sport, leisure, and exercise. In this course, students conduct original research on health practices or experiences within their own lives or communities.
