Global Mental Health and Therapeutic Assemblages: Concepts, Controversy and Necessary Tensions

February 12, 2018 February 13, 2018

This conference aims to draw out the necessary tensions of the field of global mental health through critical interdisciplinary discussion and debate. It aims to create space to explore how activists, mental health users and survivors, and academics from various fields (such as, Mad Studies, Postcolonial Theory, Disability Studies, Human Geography, History, Literary studies, Education, and Science and Technology Studies, and many more) can enrich and / or trouble debates around global mental health.
The conference is open to all working in and around global mental health and especially welcomes postgraduate and early career researchers, those who have lived experience of a psychiatric diagnosis, or of distress, and those who live and/or work in the global South on mental health issues. It aims to explore and showcase the multiple contemporary (converging and diverging) directions of, and innovations in, global mental health research and practice.
 
There is no cost for attendance, and lunch and refreshments will be provided free. There is a small amount of money available to cover some travel and related costs for those who need it.
