Narratives of Health and Wellbeing Research Conference

The 2nd Annual Narratives of Health and Wellbeing Reserach Conference
Rise: A conference exploring resilience, writing and wellbeing

This conference is an exciting opportunity for delegates to interact across a diverse range of interests. The conference program features a half day workshop that will provide delegates with hands-on learning and experience, an evening welcome function with a special private viewing of the CQU Noosa Arts Space Exhibition and featured floor talk, a full day conference event showcasing multiple speaker presentations and keynote address by Dr Kate Ames co-author of Will To Live.

In this, our second narratives of health and wellbeing conference, we showcase scholarly work reviewing, exploring, studying, deconstructing and reconstructing the concept of resilience – the positive adjustment to adversity. We explore the role narrative plays in conveying stories of resilience and how the act of writing and developing narrative may also build resilience. We may begin to question whether resilience is a personal, innate, or learned attribute; a social or cultural asset; or a buzzword that offloads social and workplace responsibilities onto individuals.
Delegates likely to benefit include researchers, scholars, advanced undergraduate, post-graduate and RHD students working in any area of narrative research, writing narrative production, nursing, midwifery, mental health, the creative and performing arts, education and the humanities.

Presenters at the conference will have the opportunity to submit to a scholarly publication.
