It 's really an interesting website, the mhhe hub! Last year l already put some information about me on the members list (some research papers, etc.). But as time goes so quickly, l really need to update some information about me. So, l 'll do it right away!
Thanks for the reminder about the online chat. Things are a bit busy at present so my preference would be to go for some time early May, if that fits for you? At the moment any time on the 1st is ok as is morning of the 2nd or any time on the 7th or 8th.
I have used the chat facility but only to add the odd comment as a participant (and that was a while back) so probably a bit of input would be useful.
Thanks so much for your lovely message. I had a great time at the symposium and would like to thank you for the opportunity to take part. I met some really great, interesting people and feel that I learned so much. I am looking forward to having a nosy through the site and will do my best to contribute as much as possible, I will also make my fellow students aware of it. Thanks again :)
Thanks for the support and energy that you are putting into this.
I think my big problem is the sheer number of different social/professional networks that are around and trying to keep up with all of them and contribute in some meaningful way. I think this one has a lot of potential though. Emily
Thanks Jill for recommending this to me. It has been on my to-do list since last autumn. I am very glad to have taken the leap into the MHHE and look forward to sharing lots of good practice with everyone. Happy Days!
Thank you for your kind welcome. The hub was recommended to me by Consumer Academic Lyn Mahboub who I have recently started working closely alongside on a new project. I would love to join the Ducie Network if I am able :)
Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh is launching the world’s first master’s degree in Mad Studies. The MSc Mad Studies course is primarily a course for graduates with lived experience of mental health issues. It has been hailed by a leading international Mad Studies academic as the most exciting piece of curriculum development in the last 20 years!

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.
