Group description

This is explored in, for example, the encounters between caregivers and patients, and the individuals’ sense making regarding their own health. The group also includes research with a focus on education and professions in the field of health. Issues are addressed at the levels of individual, group and society. The pedagogical perspective is salient in, e.g., the focus on how peoples’ experiences of health and illness are framed by communication and learning as both an individual and a social phenomenon.

Seminars

We arrange two reoccuring seminars: Hälsopedagogiska seminariet  and Subjektivitetsseminariet.
