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 Fourteenth International Conference on Health, Wellness, & Society features research addressing the following annual themes and special focus: 2024 Special Focus—Health for Democracy, Democracy for Health 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
