Welcome to the Division of Health and Society

The Division of Health and Society is an interdisciplinary research unit of the Department of Medical and Health Sciences at Linköping University. We engage in social science and humanities research in the area of health, with a focus on the complex relations that exists between health, the individual, culture and society.

The Division has particular expertise in the area that concerns communication, medical philosophy and ethics, medical sociology and anthropology, epidemiology, history and political science. We also actively collaborate with other programmes at Linköping University that do research in related areas. The Division of Health and Society runs a PhD programme and an international master's programme.

You are most welcome to visit us at Hälsans hus on the US Campus!
