Sociology/Psychology: Happiness & Emotional Wellbeing – Are They Actually Achievable In Today’s Society? With Dr Laura Hyman From University of Portsmouth
10th October 2023 @ 14:15 - 15:00
In this Sociology/Psychology session, Dr Laura Hyman, Senior Lecturer in Sociology in the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences at University of Portsmouth, presents Happiness and Emotional Wellbeing – Are They Actually Achievable in Today’s Society?
Whilst this session will not necessarily make you happier (though it won’t make you sad, either), it explores different ways in which we can understand happiness and emotional wellbeing more critically.
It will explore the ways in which a range of sociological theories can be used to understand our feelings about ourselves and the world we live in.
