Description

This interdisciplinary research program allows students from the social sciences, humanities, and health sector to undertake a research Masters or PhD in Health, Sexuality and Culture. The program is coordinated through the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, and is guided by a social paradigm that understands persons and communities as social beings. Much of the research at the Centre is oriented to the needs of practitioners working in the policy field. There is also the scope to conduct more conceptual and theoretical inquiry into questions of bodily and erotic practice or the practices of medicine. The program in Health, Sexuality and Culture provides students with the empirical skills necessary to participate in the global field of sex and/or drug research, as well as an understanding of critical debates in social theories of sex, drugs and the politics of medicine. It is this mix of practical empirical skills and critical understandings that makes Health, Sexuality and Culture at UNSW unique.
