Where Virtual Well-Being Becomes Reality, Colleen M. Reilly
Where Virtual Well-Being Becomes Reality, Colleen M. Reilly
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Strategies to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, specifically quarantine and social distancing protocols, have exposed a troubling paradox: mandated isolation meant to save lives has inadvertently contributed to a decline in America’s well-being. Prolonged isolation due to more remote work and decentralized workplaces has been associated with widespread loneliness and diminished physical and mental health, with effects compounded by limited face-to-face access to social support systems. While remote communication technologies (e.g., video chat) can connect individuals with colleagues and social networks, remote technologies might have limited effectiveness in business and social contexts.

Dance/Movement Therapy And A Search For Wholeness Under Capitalism, Autumn Wright
Dance/Movement Therapy Theses
Wellness, as it is currently defined in late capitalism, is a luxury good for the ruling class.

In the United States, dance/movement therapists operate within the for-profit healthcare system. The United States is the only industrialized democracy in the world without a national health insurance program. Despite the access to state licensure for the past 20 years, dance/movement therapists still have no guarantee that health insurance companies will pay for their services. Concurrently, there has been a surgency of self-proclaimed wellness coaches. These …
