Constructing the "Healthy" Child
Mon, August 10, 4:00 to 5:30pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
From moms on social media debating how to feed toddlers to widespread concern about adolescent mental health to the political dismantling of established public health institutions and norms, what does it mean to be a “healthy” child in the United States today? How are perceptions of children’s “health” shaped by current social forces and social institutions? And what are the consequences of these perceptions in the lives of children? This session includes papers from a variety of methodological and theoretical perspectives and covers a variety of health topics that explore children and youth and social perceptions of young people’s “health.”
