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.

Join a community of like-minded people

By joining this track, you join a group of like-minded people who are driven to make a difference in society. Likewise, you join a community of scholars who are passionate about fostering dialogue and equality. Alongside teaching sessions, we frequently organise a variety of research activities, which foster a vibrant academic community. You will become part of a larger international research network, gaining insights and connections that will support your professional growth.

Discover your Dialogue, Health and Society programme

Dialogue, Health and Society is an international master’s track that uniquely combines a solid theoretical understanding of real-life interactions on contemporary health and societal topics with applied knowledge, with the development of empirically-based advice and training. You will learn to analyze and support conversations in a variety of settings including healthcare, public debates and online discussions, using innovative qualitative methods. Internships at health and societal organizations such as the RIVM, WHO, and GGD Amsterdam will equip you with practical experience and prepare you for a successful career in a range of advisory, research, policy, or educational positions.
