Professor Gavin J. Andrews
Health Geographies
Professor Gavin J. Andrews is a leading health geographer based in the Department of Health, Aging and Society at McMaster University in Canada. His wide-ranging interests including the dynamics between space/place and: aging, holistic medicine, health care work, phobias, sports and fitness, health histories and popular music. Much of his work is positional and considers the progress, state-of-the-art and future of health geography. In recent years he has developed an interest in the potential of non-representational theory to animate the liveliness and ‘taking place’ of health.
