Our poster introduces the complexity of the dimensions of radical and critical well-being while imagining sur-thrival, a fluid way of viewing survival and thrival. Using critical theories to frame sur-thrival and radical well-being, we push limits of human capacity and agency. In the quest to effect socially just change, the authors utilize Transtheoretical Model for Stages of Change as well as student affairs’ Social Change Model of Leadership to further examine the complexity of change as it relates to radical well-being. On a continuum, we address the motivators and challenges to radical well-being on the systems levels, in particular, micro, mezzo, macro, and global levels. In doing this, we complicate dichotomous tendencies and propose new ways to consider survival and thrival, and to perceive renewal, justice and sustainability, as pertaining to radical well-being.
