Social Innovation for Health, Social Care and Well-Being
Chairs: Kelly Hall, (University of Birmingham, England), Michael Roy (University of Stirling, Scotland)
Description:
We welcome both empirical and theoretical papers exploring the role of social innovation in health, social care and wellbeing. Typical topics of interest might include: new health, well-being or social care technologies; new forms of relationship between the state and civil society focused on addressing a particular health or social care issue; social innovation approaches to shaping a new ‘wellbeing economy’; or the impact of community-led interventions on addressing ‘upstream’ factors in the social environment that we know shape how we live, work and age.
