Call for papers – 1/2025 – Welfare & Ergonomics

The call for contributions to the next issue of the magazine is now open Welfare & Ergonomics, dedicated to “Social agriculture between new and old social work practices, theoretical perspectives and policy innovations”, edited by Angela Genova and Tiziana Tarsia.

The issue will collect theoretical contributions and empirical research (both subject to peer review) related to:

  • case studies at local, national and international level capable of producing critical reflections that highlight the challenges in the implementation of social agriculture, with a multidisciplinary approach
  • study of policies and their effects with a specific focus on national and regional regulatory contexts and practices that connect some emerging themes such as innovation processes in the primary sector and the differentiation of agricultural activities, the energy transition, the return to agricultural activities of young people, attention to well-being and the environment in a one health perspective
  • analysis of the results of social research evaluating the experiences of social agriculture as a device for rehabilitation processes and social participation of disadvantaged people, but also for the promotion of community activities and social cohesion.

Potential authors of this issue of Welfare & Ergonomics are invited to submit an abstract of approximately 25 characters by September 2024, 3000, and, if accepted, the full contribution by 20 January 2025.
