Nutrition education for social change: critical perspective
1997
Travers, K.D.
A paucity of research making use of theories that examine the social world as the source of nutritional problems suggests a need to examine alternate theories for nutrition education. This viewpoint builds an argument for the potential contributions of critical social science to nutrition education research and practice. A review of the assumptions of critical social science follows a critique of traditional theories. A case study of reducing inequities through nutrition education for social change illustrates the application of critical social science. The argument concludes that research from a critical perspective can help to inform an empowering nutrition education practice.
