Abstract
Health is broader than the absence of disease and the feeling of wellbeing at the individual and societal levels. This Bus Stop Chat will provide an overview of the conceptualisations of health, from the biomedical model to the social determinants of health, and explore and critically assess how far and wide the definition, understandings and conceptualization of health reaches.
Bus Stop Chats
The ISS21 SHAPE (Society, Health Equity and Political Economy) research cluster will host a series of online Bus Stop Chats, from December 2025 to May 2026. Each of these informal lunch-time events involves a member of the SHAPE cluster presenting and discussing an area of their research to an interested and largely non-expert audience.
Details and link to event on 21 April 2026 to follow.
