We are also pleased to announce that online booking for the event is now

(BSA) Sociology of Mental Health Study Group in conjunction with the
Department of Social Work, Care and Justice at Liverpool Hope
University and will
take place on *Wednesday 10th June 2015* in Liverpool.
Conference background:
The work of Peter Sedgwick and in particular his classic text
PsychoPolitics (1982)
has a renewed relevance in the context of ‘austerity’, the privatisation of
welfare provision and emergent forms of radical activism in mental health.
This conference will provide an opportunity to explore Sedgwick’s ideas and
assess his legacy in light of these contemporary developments.
The organisers welcome proposals for papers/workshops from academics,
service users /survivors and mental health practitioners on the following
topics (though this is not an exhaustive list):
• The politics of mental health
• Social movements in mental health; social movements and sociological
knowledge on mental health
• Alliances between service user/survivor movements and trade
unions/anti-austerity campaigns
• Alliances between disabled people’s and mental health service
user/survivor movements
• Mental health practice and resistance under neoliberalism
• Contemporary applications of Sedgwick’s ideas
• Links between mad studies, disability studies and the work of
Sedgwick
Please feel free to forward this information to anyone who may be
interested.
Best wishes
Rich
