Founded in 2011, the Health, Wellness, & Society Research Network is brought together by a common concern in the fields of human health and wellness, and in particular their social interconnections and implications. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.

The Fifteenth International Conference on Health, Wellness, & Society calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus:

• 2025 Special Focus—Emotional vs Artificial Intelligence: A Paradigm Shift in Healthcare? 

• Theme 1: The Physiology, Kinesiology, and Psychology of Wellness in its Social Context

• Theme 2: Interdisciplinary Health Sciences

• Theme 3: Public Health Policies and Practices

• Theme 4: Health Promotion and Education
