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…

Most social workers provide services to individuals with mental health concerns, yet there are gaps in research on social work education and training programmes. The objective of this open access scoping review is to examine literature on social work education and training in mental health, addictions and…

welcome to MyMadSpace Nev - feel free to jump right in - we need you there!!
Hi Nev,
I am the Development Officer at Mental Wealth UK. We are a student mental health charity established to promote positive student mental health and wellbeing in
universities across the UK. We run in a similar way to Active Minds in America, helping students to set up their own groups that run mental health related events and campaigns. Jill Anderson mentioned to me that you had set up a group for academics/researchers with experience of mental distress. I have been approached by another organisation in the UK that would like to work with us to create a resource or web precense directed at phd students and postgrads. Much of our work has focussed on undergrads, but i am very keen to reach out to more members of the university community. I wonder if you could tell me a bit more about your work and sign post me to any resources / colleagues who may be able to offer guidance on this? Do you know of any other sucessful initiatives that have been directed at postgraduates? Feel free to reply on here, but if you could also drop me an email I would really appreciate it: r.tressler@mentalwealthuk.com
Look forward to speaking with you.
Best Wishes,
Rosie
