The AHRC Wellbeing State network project critically investigates today’s wellbeing discourse that promises to update our conception of human flourishing as a resource to help collectively confront the challenges of the 21st century. It brings together academics and policy makers to imagine a ‘wellbeing state’ – a state that enacts a politics of care, collaboration, and sustainability.

The network is led by Clare Woodford (University of Brighton) and Viktoria Huegel (University of Vienna).
