Studies in Social Wellbeing : volume 1 issue 1

Abstract

Studies in Social Wellbeing (SSW) is an online, peer-reviewed, open access journal with an international focus on topics related to wellbeing from a social perspective. We look for contributions that engage with research that promotes wellbeing, inclusion, equity and equality. Contributions are welcome from scholars carrying out research in a broad range of areas related to wellbeing, including but not limited to counselling, criminology, disability studies, family studies, gender studies, gerontology, psychology, sociology, public health, social policy and social work, and youth and community studies. Our journal aims to promote original research which crosses disciplinary boundaries in an effort to stimulate knowledge-sharing in areas related to social wellbeing. The journal aims to have a broad scope, covering research from a wide range of academic disciplines, whilst also encouraging research papers with a niche focus on wellbeing. We encourage contributions from practitioners presenting their research or reflecting on their practice, as well as from post-graduate students. Co-authored interdisciplinary research articles are particularly welcome. The journal does not adhere to any single type of methodology; inviting qualitative and quantitative research studies that draw on various psycho-social approaches and philosophical orientations. The journal is owned and managed by the Faculty for Social Wellbeing, University of Malta. It only publishes manuscripts in English. The journal publishes one issue annually.
