Social wellbeing

Social wellbeing is a key theme in several multidisciplinary research projects. Some of the key concepts in related research include community, belonging and inclusion, closeness, social relationships, interaction, encounters, synchrony, shared experiences, family, class, intersectionality, growth environments, operating environments, emotional and interpersonal skills, group skills, psychosocial development,  social sustainability, language rights, linguistic wellbeing and social empowerment. 

At the Ģֱ, social wellbeing has been examined in, for example, sociology research, which has predominately focused on belonging and the social inclusion of individuals and communities, social affordances and possibilities for action, wellbeing and vulnerability, structurally and ecosocially sustainable social work and societies, the functionality and effectiveness of professional practices and social services as well as the ethics, ideologies and processes of change in institutions and professions.

Social wellbeing, community and belonging have also been studied in the Crises Redefined profiling action, which focuses on concepts such as crises, continuity and change.
