Cultures of Euphoria Networking Meeting
This project aims to build a network through a hybrid event involving scholars from various disciplines.

1 March 2024
The Cultures of Euphoria Networking Meeting successfully brought together anthropologists for a one-day workshop focused on the relationship between joy, mental health, and well-being through ethnographic case studies. By emphasizing joy rather than pathology, the workshop aimed to reframe mental health discussions to highlight the importance of human connection and flourishing, addressing a significant gap in qualitative cross-cultural research. With diverse presentations from scholars across the globe, the event fostered collaboration and set the stage for developing full research projects as part of an upcoming ERC Advanced Grant application.
