Why Contact Me?
Please
feel free to contact me. I'm more than happy to discuss
philosophical and wellbeing-related matters with anyone.
Of
particular interest to me is making contact with other
wellbeing researchers. Especially for the following
reasons:
- If
you are interested in being a peer reviewer for or
potential contributor to the International
Journal
of Wellbeing
- If
you are an editor of a philosophy or wellbeing-related
project looking for a contributor
- If
you are interested in collaborating on theoretical,
interdisciplinary, or empirical wellbeing research
- If
you are a non-philosopher and want to discuss
philosophical aspects of wellbeing
