PATHS Research Group explore the interconnections – the ‘paths’ – between public health, the arts, theory, and sociology. Specifically, we are interested in the role of society and sociological theories in discussions and issues connected to the field of ‘arts and health’. This includes sociological exploration of the arts and health field itself (e.g., the institutions, networks, and people that constitute the field) and the artistic practices and programmes delivered in view of public health discourses and structures. Exploring the application of our research to policy and practice is also important to what we do.
