GENERAL CALL
Salutogenic Rebels Call
Salutogenic Rebels Call
What happens when salutogenic research speaks without words and beyond the page?
Our mission: Building bridges - Enhancing well-being through meaningful cross-cultural connections
The Salutogenic Rebels, an international group of early-career salutogenic researchers, invite researchers in all career stages to join us in creating the explorative ‘Rebel Morning’, which will take place on Friday, January 15, 2027. The ‘Rebel Morning’ will bridge research and relationships, early- and later-career scholars, cultures, languages, and ways of knowing.
Our morning opens space for creative, visual, embodied, relational, reciprocal and experimental ways of communicating aspects of salutogenic research beyond oral or written language.
We welcome applications that address salutogenic topics.
Conference Themes
Application Areas for Salutogenesis
Beyond the healthcare field, the concept of Salutogenesis has been applied to various fields, including education, housing, migration, and work. New areas of application are continually emerging. Tell us in what settings you have been working with salutogenesis. We encourage you to submit abstracts on a wide variety of topics, for example:
- Weaving healthy work practices
- Salutogenesis in primary care
- Interweaving diets, foods, and food systems
- Weaving coherent and sustainable transportation systems
- Weaving healthy practices in different settings, such as schools and communities
- Connecting educational systems: learning and teaching
- New challenges for the application of Salutogenesis: the use of AI; indigenous people, sexual and gender diversities, people in migratory contexts, people with disabilities, neurodivergences, and more
- Other application areas
Salutogenic Practices
Salutogenesis is more than a theory: when working with it in practice, various concrete actions can be applied. What actions are you developing that can constitute salutogenic practices? We invite you to submit abstracts related to (for example):
- Salutogenic dialogue and other ways of connecting and interweaving
- Collective action: weaving people and connecting cultures
- Connecting resources, cultures, and communities
- Weaving is like moving between elements, spaces, and scenarios.
- Innovation and design for wellbeing: use of technologies to promote health and sense of coherence
- Other salutogenic practices
Theory and Research on Salutogenesis
- Weaving research paradigms and methods -- mixed methods
- Weaving theory: Salutogenesis with other competing theoretical constructs
- Advancing the Sense of Coherence - SOC concept (e.g., stability, dimensionality, contextuality)
- Advancing in the measurement of the Sense of Coherence-SOC (specific manifestations of culture and items in the three dimensions of the scale).
- Other topics related to theory and research on salutogenesis
Other
We recognize that Salutogenesis is a dynamic and constantly expanding field. If your work does not clearly fit into the previous lines, we equally invite you to share your experience and propose new perspectives that enrich the salutogenic dialogue. In what other areas or in what other ways are you working with Salutogenesis that you would like to share at the conference?
