I just read an excellent article in a 2003
American Sociological Review on the shift from
medicalization to
biomedicalization. It is an expansion and transformation of the existing paradigm. The authors discussed five aspects of
biomedicalization, differentiating it from
medicalization. It fits in beautifully with the course I am designing, as it presents an excellent overview and analysis of several topics we will be covering. I am slightly concerned that it might be too dense and professional for my students, but I also think it's important to expose them to this kind of writing.
