Abstract

Wellbeing research in universities usually focuses on individual wellbeing, looking at student and staff wellbeing separately. To grow understanding, we also need to know what ‘being well together’ means in higher education institutions.

To help address this evidence gap and build knowledge about community wellbeing in education, Northumbria University is using the Centre’s community wellbeing conceptual framework in its place-based qualitative research. This will create early stage evidence and new insights into this previously unexplored area.

Here, Alyson Dodd from the research team, takes us through the project.
