This research interest in ‘health citizenship’ arose from transdisciplinary concerns around the ways in which the individual negotiates their position within society. This group has a focus on how pertinent issues around health and wellbeing are experienced by the citizen within contemporary society. Using an interdisciplinary social scientific focus, a focal concern within this grouping has been on how messages around health and wellbeing are negotiated, accounted for and represented by a range of groups within our society. Projects investigated have included: how trainee teachers approach the study of health and wellbeing, moral discourses in media constructions of bariatric surgery; contemporary views on the government strategies to promote ‘happiness’.
