FUTURES AND EPISTEMIC LITERACY IN HEALTH

FUTURES AND EPISTEMIC LITERACY IN HEALTH
A COURSE TOWARDS COMPLEXITY-ORIENTED LEARNING IN HEALTH
Futures and epistemic literacy in health
The course aims at embracing complexity. It means that health students build capacity to anticipate for the future. It empowers them to become creative towards the unknown. It covers futures literacy as the capacity to enhance sensing and making sense of complexity, and epistemic literacy with a critical evaluative position of knowledge (Miller 2015).

FUTURES AND EPISTEMIC LITERACY IN HEALTH

Why is it needed?

These literacies support the transition in care for health (Kickenbush 2014) by challenging the decontextualized evidence base of health sciences. They challenge the reactive orientation on health problems instead of perceiving health as a capability.

They support to find other possibilities in the complex mixture of social, chronic, and multi-morbidity issues in public health. It offers ground for evidence informed practice and the redefinition of social roles in the care for health.
