POST SOVIET SOCIETY and HEALTH
The disintegration of the Soviet Union, the fall of communism and the transition to a market economy has been accompanied by a dramatic decline in the health of the populations of post-soviet societies.
Laurie Taylor is joined by Pamela Abbott, Professor of Social Policy at Glasgow Caledonian University and William Cockerham, Professor of Sociology, Medicine and Public Health at the University of Alabama to find out what factors can explain this significant decline in health in post-Soviet societies, and to explore the way men and women are differently affected.
SEXUAL TENSION
Although modern societies seem to be becoming more liberal about sex it appears that at the same time many anxieties remain.Ìý Laurie Taylor discusses with Professor Sue Scott why the very subject of sex makes some people feel tense.
