Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This Research Agenda
for Social Wellbeing introduces scholars and planners to the
importance of a 'wellbeing lens' for the study and promotion of
social flourishing. It demonstrates the importance of wellbeing as
a public good, not just a property of individuals. Synthesising
wellbeing research from multiple disciplines, including sociology,
public health, urban and social planning, moral philosophy and
development studies, chapters illustrate how the wellbeing lens
promotes positivity, understanding of a variety of viewpoints and
systematic appreciation of lives in their social contexts.
Encouraging appreciative learning and aspirational planning, Neil
Thin looks beyond the implicit 'OK' line of minimal decent
standards in order to appreciate and promote moral progress. As an
illuminating summary of the field, offering new avenues for
employing social wellbeing research across multiple disciplines,
this book will be key reading for scholars and students of
sociology, development studies and anthropology. It will also
benefit practitioners, such as planners, evaluators and social
workers in need of practical insights into social wellbeing issues.
