hi jill,
yes, we are planning to have a mh stream at the next SWAN conference in March 2012 at Liverpool Hope so will probably look to set it up from there - hope you can make it along.
I have just been offered a post there so will be based in Liverpool by then!
Hope all's good with you.
best,
richHi JiIl
I seem to be sorted out with access now.
Thanks for your help.
It was good to meet you last week with Bill - I shall look forward to furture contact via the Hub.
Best wishes
Kate
Totally!! I'll put it in my diary now and fingers crossed - see you there :-)
Hi Jill, thank you for this encouraging feedback. I am still developing this concept and looking at it in a variety of disciplines and contexts. I would be keen to attend a conference in the future. Best wishes, Caryl

Thanks Jill, that's very helpful and supportive. Think I must have dropped off the MHHE radar because of a change of email address which I didn't notify. Will catch up again at later date. Peter
Jill - thank you for your kind comment - I am wholly amazed and respectful of the commitment and energy you have put into setting up and maintaining this sight - I am encouraging others to sign up
Hi Jill
Thanks for all the information you forward lots of stuff I would know nothing about otherwise. Making Waves just got a lot more interesting with the arrival of Julie!
Yes - I can imagine! Glad that the information is being useful.
Thanks
- there clearly needs to be safety and privacy - including being able to join without making this known in a wider context - i have academic colleagues who are often reluctant to disclose to peers or to their learners for instance
- i very much hope there will be opportunity for the wider network to engage with and learn from the experiences within this liminal space - there is great potential here
- i feel i am no more than a portal to the group's existence - but hope collaborative ownership will help to address these dilemmas and create liberating and enriching boundaries
- i rely on you for technical wisdom - i have none
lol jill !! - clearly a hotspot!! - and many many good points i thought - for me, the problem was fourfold:
not wanting to automatically impose a 'friend add' onto anyone before i told them about My Mad Space -
feeling tentative about pressuring anyone with a direct 'invite' -
and being quite unable to put a public post on anyones page when i was not certain if they had disclosed their mental health status
but all in all wanting to extend a warm and encouraging individual welcome to anyone who might benefit from coming in to My Mad Space
i have ultimately gone down the friends add route
Thanks for your interest Jill.My book is about promoting positive mental health in poetry form.It helped me a lot when I was at a very low point in my life.It is called Aspects of Life and published by chipmunkapublishing.com.

ContinueUnlearning through Mad Studies: disruptive pedagogical praxis
Posted by Jill Anderson on October 26, 2020 at 19:00 0 Comments 0 Likes
Medical discourse currently dominates as the defining framework for madness in educational praxis. Consequently, ideas rooted in a mental health/illness binary abound in higher learning, as both curriculum content and through institutional procedures that reinforce structures of normalcy. While madness, then, is included in university spaces, this inclusion proceeds in ways that continue to pathologize madness and disenfranchise mad people.
This paper offers Mad…
