Abstract: | The extensive social changes taking place globally have provoked an increased interest in and valuing of scholarship relating to social wellbeing. It is in this context that we are happy to publish the second issue of Studies in Social Wellbeing (SiSW). The challenges of climate change, the developments in artificial intelligence, international conflicts, and the post-COVID-19 context call for more research and scholarship about how these are impacting social wellbeing. In relation to the impact of climate change, Beltrán et al. (2016) argue that environmental justice is clearly a social justice issue and that there is evidence that oppressed peoples and the more marginalised people in society are the ones who bear the brunt of the impacts on the physical and natural environment which are the result of human activity. It is in this global context that we would like the journal to continue to draw readers who have a very broad range of interests. The papers in this edition are once again reflective of the journal’s broad scope. |
