Description

Welcome to the micro-site for the Fourteenth International Conference on Health, Wellness, & Society

Founded in 2011, the Health, Wellness, & Society Research Network is brought together by a common concern in the fields of human health and wellness, and in particular their social interconnections and implications. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.

The Fourteenth International Conference on Health, Wellness, & Society calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus:

• 2024 Special Focus—Health for Democracy, Democracy for Health 

• Theme 1: The Physiology, Kinesiology, and Psychology of Wellness in its Social Context  

• Theme 2: Interdisciplinary Health Sciences

• Theme 3: Public Health Policies and Practices 

• Theme 4: Health Promotion and Education

We are interested in the following lines of investigation:   

• On the dimensions of wellness in body and mind.

• On the systematic study of human health.

• On community responsibilities to foster wellness and proactive health policies and practices.

• On informal and formal health education.

The Fourteenth International Conference on Health, Wellness, & Society also supports a book imprint and a collection of journals.
