Dr. John Bone
Dr. John Bone’s research interests are in social and biosocial theory, political economy, social well-being and social media research. In terms of theoretical work, and in line with an emerging biosocial perspective within the sociology, he has a specific interest in the way in which human neurobiological capacities and propensities shape and delimit the dialectical relationship between individual and society, with implications for understanding social interaction, organisation and well-being. From a more empirical perspective, I am interested in the way in which the contemporary trajectory of global development and neo-liberal economic policy is affecting individuals and urban communities in terms of identities, working lives, well-being, political engagement, social polarisation and social cohesion.
