This course explores key theoretical approaches to the meaning, mood, and matter of bodies in the contemporary world. Through a range of topics that may include food, cancer, toxins, sport, fitness, reproduction, biometrics, and pain, we will attend to both the vitality of bodies and their subjection within enduring structures of power. Readings will emphasize anti-capitalist, critical race, postcolonial, Indigenous, feminist, queer, and trans perspectives.

KHS 871 Critical Health Promotion
This course will provide students with the opportunity to examine the genealogy of health, health promotion, and population health over the past half-century and to apply critical thinking skill within current theoretical and methodological applications in health promotion studies. (offered jointly with HLTH 493).

KHS 872     Health Behaviour Change     
Introduction to theories, measures, and statistical methodologies typically used in health and exercise psychology research. Students will learn to critically evaluate and apply these key principles.

KHS 873     Critical Methodologies: Politics of Knowledge
This seminar explores the politics of knowledge in research that aims at social change. Taking a historical approach, it draws on feminism, Indigenous Studies, post-colonialism, and other critical perspectives to develop a frame for post-positivist, qualitative research. PREREQUISITE: KNPE 367 or equivalent.

KHS 875     Qualitative Methods     
This course is an introduction to graduate level qualitative methods. The goal of the course is to provide a foundation for graduate students to collect and analyze qualitative data using methods such as interviews, focus groups, and observation.
EXCLUSION: RHBS 832

KHS 884     Muscle Physiology     
A lecture-seminar course in which muscular, metabolic, and endocrine adaptations to exercise will be discussed in detail focusing on the effects of acute exercise and physical conditioning on the major energy producing systems (carbohydrate and lipid metabolism).  Prerequisite: KNPE 427 or equivalent.

KHS 885     Oxygen Transport in Exercise: Cardiovascular and Respiratory Responses to Increased Muscle Metabolic Demand
