‘Critical Mental Health’ online seminar (2022/2023)
Call for expressions of interest
Organised by Baptiste Brossard at the Department of Sociology, University of York, and Ewen Speed (School of Health and Social Care, University of Essex) in partnership with the British Sociological Association Mental Health Study Group.
This monthly seminar series aims at connecting researchers interested in social and critical perspectives to mental health and providing a platform to exchange ideas in this area.
Potential topics of discussion include: lived experiences of mental health; inequalities and injustice in mental health, which involves issues surrounding exclusion, stigma and limited opportunities; labour market participation; theories of mental health and madness; methodological issues in the study of mental illness; social welfare; disability, decolonial and mad studies; caregiving; and the politics of mental health. These topics reflect the overall idea that, at a time when the prevalence of psychiatric diagnoses and the use of mental health services dramatically increase in most countries in the world, social approaches can bring significant contributions to the understanding of the ‘construction’ of mental health issues and their contexts of production.
The series will welcome anyone involved in knowledge production in this area to present either works in progress or already published ones, including book launches. Researchers in sociology but also cognate disciplines such as anthropology, history, philosophy, critical psychology and public health, are encouraged to send presentation proposals.
Please contact Baptiste Brossard ([log in to unmask]) for any questions, to be kept informed of the programme, and to send your proposals, by July 5th 2022.
