Political Sociology and the People's Health by Jason Beckfield (English) Hardcov

Description: Political Sociology and the People's Health by Jason Beckfield, Nancy Krieger Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A social epidemiologist looks at health inequalities in terms of the upstream factors that produced them. A political sociologist sees these same inequalities as products of institutions that unequally allocate power and social goods. Neither is wrong -- but can the two talk to one another? In a stirring new synthesis, Political Sociology and the Peoples Health advances the debate over social inequalities in health by offering a newset of provocative hypotheses around how health is distributed in and across populations. It joins political sociologys macroscopic insights into social policy, labor markets, and the racialized and genderedstate with social epidemiologys conceptualizations and measurements of populations, etiologic periods, and distributions. The result is a major leap forward in how we understand the relationships between institutions and inequalities -- and essential reading for those in public health, sociology, and beyond. Author Biography Jason Beckfield is Professor and Chair of Sociology and Associate Director of the Center for Population and Development Studies at Harvard University. He conducts inter-disciplinary research on how institutional arrangements -- the "rules of the game" that organize power in social life -- structure inequality, including the global distribution of population health. His work has been supported by the National Science Foundation, NationalInstitutes of Health, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Harvard Medical School, and the American Sociological Association. He is also grateful to the taxpayers of the great states of Missouri and Indiana, who supported histraining in the form of generous scholarships and fellowships.
