LIVES Doctoral Module - Resources and Wellbeing in a Life Course Perspective

10/11 Feb 2026

Building on the LIVES vulnerability framework, the interdisciplinary notions of resources/reserves, and their processes of accumulation and mobilization will be developed, with empirical illustrations taken from studies on social capital and cognitive reserves. The complementary interdisciplinary notions of subjective well-being and motivation in relation to life transitions and life stages will then be discussed, with examples from varied areas of studies and disciplines (i.e., work, political participation, emotional regulation).

The doctoral module is part of the LIVES Doctoral Programme. However, we offer some places for continuing education. In case of interest, please contact the scientific officer: charikleia.lampraki@unige.ch.
