Embodiment of the social world

This course addresses some fundamental processes through which the social world enters the individual’s body and mind.

The focus lies upon how these processes shape individuals’ behaviors and set the conditions for their health. The role of individual capabilities and agency is also discussed. In addition, the course touches upon the importance of the historical and political context in relation to various processes of embodiment.
