From dispute to dialogue: building bridges with language

Discover the fundamental role of language in health communication.

Embark on an academic journey to explore the power of language to shape current health and societal challenges such as the crisis of faith in child vaccination, the polarisation surrounding the climate crisis, the persistence of inequalities and the resurgence of gender and racial prejudices. Language is at the heart of how these and other present-day problems are defined, constructed, contested, and resolved.
