    The well-being of children and adolescents is debated globally, and school settings constitute important sites in which well-being is lived and managed. In contemporary well-being debates, schoolchildren’s embodied experiences receive little attention, and well-being is often treated as synonymous with mental health. In this study, we explore and conceptualize embodied well-being in everyday school settings. While Danish media discussed a proclai…

Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, this article explores how young and middle-aged Danes diagnosed with IBS inhabit and relate to their bodies. Previous studies have described how IBS patients experienc…
