Well-being Conference 2008

‘The Social Dynamics of Well-being and Human Rights’ and ‘Health, Medicine and the Body’ themes have developed a proposal for a conference to bring together academics and experts from a number of disciplines who would recognise ‘well-being’ as one way to name their research and teaching interest. From philosophy to public health, from demography to cultural studies, from social psychology to epidemiology, from primary health care to anthropology we believe that within the ANU, a diverse array of people are thinking about ‘wellbeing’ in innovative ways. The conference is in the early stages of planning but is proposed take place in late September 2008. At present the working group is Tim Rowse, Robert Attenborough and Helen Keane.
