Abstract:
Previous research suggests that human trafficking (HT) can have multiple adverse effects, which can then interact with post-trafficking environmental factors to further impact wellbeing. A version of participatory action research (PAR) was employed to explore how a community arts project was experienced and ways it supported psychological wellbeing post-trafficking. A total of eleven participants took part including ten women who had experienced HT and one project organiser. Data collection involved six participants. Data was analysed using thematic analysis.

This thesis addresses the question, when should we administer compulsory medical treatment? According to most contemporary liberal philosophers, if a person is making an autonomous choice not to have medical treatment, it would always be wrong to administer compulsory medical treatment. This thesis denies this view. It argues that there are a number of cases in which we should administer compulsory medical treatment, even if the person chooses, under ideal conditions, not to have medical treatment.

This is compared to dwelling suitability and satisfaction. The survey found no relationship between tenants’ wellbeing scores, their satisfaction with their dwellings,

In particular it draws upon the psychological insights of Evagrios of Pontus concerning the “eight thoughts” or passions.

Men's and women's time-use in relation to wellbeing is well-investigated and understood within the context of the developed world. There has been limited research into the gendered experiences of time-use and three dimensional (3D) wellbeing in rural communities of sub-Saharan Africa and particularly so in semi-arid areas.
