Resilience in Challenging Times: Insights from the Sociology of Mental Health
Tue, August 11, 2:00 to 3:30pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
In challenging times marked by persistent inequities and new social pressures, communities continue to cultivate resilience and mental well-being in powerful ways. This session invites papers that explore resilience, flourishing, and other positive dimensions of mental health, particularly in the face of structural adversity. We welcome theoretical and empirical contributions examining how individuals and communities resist, adapt to, or transform social conditions that threaten mental well-being. Submissions may address topics such as coping strategies, collective resilience, cultural strengths, or structural supports that foster flourishing, especially among marginalized populations. All methodological approaches and perspectives are encouraged.
