Leading to: Health History MSc
The MSc in Health History is a research-led postgraduate programme which seeks to introduce students to a range of issues, controversies, debates, and specialist topics in the history of health and medicine. It provides specialist modules, taught by experts in the field; a sources and methods module which engages with both practical and intellectual issues in the history of medicine and of health and healthcare; and the opportunity to carry out an extended piece of original historical research and writing in the form of the dissertation. Students have the opportunity to explore a variety of themes such as:
- the development of psychiatry since the 19th century
- understandings of meat-eating and vegetarianism
- the history of gender, sexuality and health
- the rise of regulation for drugs and medicines
- the role of film, video and television in the production, communication and contestation of medical and health-related knowledge
- how nutrition has been and continues to be one of the most controversial areas of health and medicine
- oral history theory and research practices
- the role of medicine in the emergence of ‘modern’ forms of warfare
- the relationship between heritage, health and tourism
- the often-vexed relationship between medicine, the public, and the state
- how the media presents and frames health behaviours and its impact on media consumers
The degree is suitable for those from humanities, social science and health science backgrounds as well as those who work or have worked in healthcare and are interested in learning about the history of their profession.
