Wellbeing, Space and Society

Aims & Scope

Wellbeing, Space & Society is an interdisciplinary journal concerned with the role that space and place play in shaping wellbeing across the range of spatial scales from the local to the global.

Wellbeing, Space & Society shares the same general approach to manuscripts as its companion titles, Health & Place and Social Science & Medicine.

We publish papers from a range of social science disciplines, including geography, sociology, social psychology, social epidemiology, economics, anthropology and political science.

We encourage your submissions that address a problem of interest to society and illustrate the links (potential or theorized) between (aspects of) society and space and wellbeing.

We are particularly interested in: • the policy implications of the research, including work informed by policy analysis • the wellbeing of places - how is that conceptualized, theorized, operationalised and translated? • the transactive nature of wellbeing along with the constitutive (or emergent) processes across the scales from the individual through the household to community, etc. that shape wellbeing
