Public health has moved towards a much better understanding of 'the social determinants of health' but the evidence is still very much stuck within a 'methodological individualism'. What alternatives would we suggest?

So today in our introduction to social theory and the development of the sociology of health and illness lecture we will be discussing what our students would do with this scenario. Then working out what sociological theory can do to help us figure out different approaches to this dilemma. #sociology #publichealth #cphn

I have had a longstanding interest in debates about theorising and theory building. Grounded theory is therefore a natural space for a lot of my work. This book is a brilliant insight into theory building from Richard Ekins and Robert Porter. Ekins is a second generation symbolic interactionist. He tells how he went about his grounded theory work and how it relates to his emerging theory on the politics of authenticating. #groundedtheory #sociology #jazz https://www.amazon.co.uk/Politics-Authenticating-Revisiting-Experiments-Political/dp/1666917745
