In this unit students investigate the social context to ageing and health. Local and international case studies and relevant research are used to investigate gendered health issues and the process of healthy ageing for men and women. Students examine the emergence and application of women's and men's health philosophies to contemporary health promotion, and consider links between gender and health amongst culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) and differing socioeconomic groups. Assessments allow students from a variety of major and minor degree programs to undertake a project in areas relevant to their studies, and to develop creative approaches to health promotion and social policy relating to health and ageing. This unit is essential for students who wish to gain deeper insights into promoting men's and women's health, in the context of an ageing Australian population.
