Imagining Wellbeing?
Our project draws on creative practice and research to ask how we can envision the experience of wellbeing and factors that influence it.
The Imagining Wellbeing theme brings together researchers from across the Humanities and Social Sciences to tackle these questions in collaborative and interdisciplinary ways.
Creative approaches
How has wellbeing been conceptualised and reimagined over time, or shaped by personal, political and economic inequalities in urban environments?
Narratives of wellbeing
What can historical, political, legal and creative narratives tell us about the vulnerability and communal sustainability of wellbeing?
The Centre for Urban Wellbeing brings together academics from across the University of Birmingham to tackle global challenges to community health and wellbeing.
Events
In Space: Feeling the Built Environment
On Tuesday 19th March at 12pm we held the first in a series of workshops exploring the lived effects of various kinds of environment, co-hosted with the Neurodiversity Staff Network as part of Neurodiversity Celebration Week. We invited participants to reflect on how it feels to be in current spaces on or off campus, hear from others in discussion, and engage with creative ideas for alternative approaches to built environments.
