Trefnydd: Dr Nathan Bray

This module focuses on the theoretical and empirical foundations of health equity and human rights within the context of preventative health. This module aims to identify and analyse theories of equality, equity, social justice, and human rights. The conceptual, theoretical and philosophical frameworks that underpin policy and practices in preventative health will be examined. Students will develop a critical understanding of human rights systems, and rights-based approaches to health and development. This will enable students to critically evaluate models and approaches of social inclusion, community participation, and community mobilisation. Critical skills on how to stimulate sustainable and positive social change will be developed.

Workshops will introduce you to the main theoretical concepts in health equity and human rights and provide you with an opportunity to explore these topics by considering real-world case studies.

A lecture series will also provide an understanding of human rights and the skills needed to foster health equity. These lectures will also give specific guidance on how apply these skills in a health setting. Each lecture will be accompanied by a reading list accessible through the University library.

Assessments will enable you to evidence your knowledge in an essay and demonstrate your applied understanding in a report on an intervention that you have implemented to promote health equity in your workplace.
