Health Education: Critical perspectives provides a socio-cultural
and critical approach to health education. The book draws together
international experts in the fields of health and education who
deconstruct contemporary discourses and practices, and re-imagine a
health education that both connects with young people and offers a
way forward in addressing issues of health and wellbeing. Chapters
within specifically link academic work on neoliberalism, healthism,
risk and the body to wider discourses of health and health
education. They challenge current practices and call for a
re-thinking of current health programs in education settings. A
unique feature of this book is the analyses of health education
from both political and applied levels across a range of
international contexts. The book is divided into three sections:
the social and political contexts informing health education how
individual health issues (sexuality, alcohol, mental health, the
body and obesity, nutrition) articulate in education in complex
ways alternative ways to think about health and health education
pedagogy. The overall theme of the book offers a perspective that
the current approach to health education - promoting a fear of ill
health, self-surveillance and individual responsibility - can
become a form of health fascism, and we need to be cognisant of
this potential and its consequences for young people. The book will
be of key interest to academics and researchers exploring the
political context of health education.
