Challenging the social determinants of health
Will be determined based on students' need.
What sort of society do you aspire to?
This Kenkyukai (seminar) is for studentswho want to think about the form of a community where each person can achieve a healthy and happy state of health (well-being), and who want to implement practices aimed at realizing an inclusive society. This is a place for discussion while working hard together. The social determinants of health (SDH) are the non-medical factors such as the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, that influence health outcomes. We welcome students who value an inclusive society and community for health and wellbeing of individuals.
Each study group will deepen discussions on their own topic and conduct field activities. Some examples of issues carried out in the past were; "Wellbeing of the elderly in the community", "Diversity and Inclusion in the campus and community", "Gender and sexuality studies", "Improving learning environment for long-term hospitalized children", "Improving recruitment of donors for bone marrow transplants". Students who are interested in such topics are welcome. The seminar is open for diverse people but strong comittment is required.
