Critical Issues in Health and Adult Education

Three credits · Graduate

This course connects adult education and health with a focus on the evolution of health education, health promotion, and health literacy. Course content addresses health concepts, theoretical orientations, and frameworks (e.g. the Social Determinants of Health/SDoH) which are crucial for a diverse and informed understanding of health inequalities in Canada. Critically reflective work found in adult learning theory illuminates the ways in which knowledge translation/mobilization, digital technologies, population- specific needs, clinical care, ethical, policy, interprofessional practices and other health-related concerns evolve and intersect to support health equity. Cross-listed as ADED 531. Three credits.
