Editorial [Studies in Social Wellbeing : volume 4 issue 1]

Abstract

The pursuit of social wellbeing in our contemporary world is a continued negotiation between personal resilience and the socio-political and ecological forces that shape, and often strain, our lives. Increasingly, wellbeing is defined by our capacity to engage with complexity, adapt meaningfully, and find possibility in the face of disruption. This volume of Studies in Social Wellbeing gathers contributions that address such experience of adaptation and resilience with nuance, sensitivity, and intellectual rigour. Each article invites us to dwell within the uncomfortable spaces of disruption and to attend to the ways individuals and communities strive for coherence, connection, and justice.
