WELL-BEING 2011 First Call for Papers: Deadline 26th November 2010
The First International Conference Exploring the Multi-dimensions of Well-being, 18th - 19th July 2011, Birmingham, U.K.
The pursuit of high levels of well-being is a key goal of society, yet well-being is a complex multi-dimensional issue, difficult to define and even more difficult to measure. Well-being is more than issues about health; it involves our expectations, needs, aspirations, the ways that we interact with the environment, our encounters with others and our routine activities.
To further our understanding of well-being and how it can be achieved Birmingham City University in collaboration with The Royal Institute of British Architects invite abstracts of 300 words (or poster abstracts of 150 words) in relation to:
· Cross disciplinary exploration of the wider notions of well-being (theory and practice)
· Well-being and sustainability
· Developing and designing supportive natural, home and working environments
· Modelling well-being and the relationships between individuals and their environment
· Measuring and assessing the impact of interventions
· Supporting the individual - art based, performative and other innovative practices
· Community and salutogenic health
Papers are subject to an international peer review panel with opportunities for publication in selected journals, on the web and by Earthscan.
