ACADEMIC

On November the 14th 2023 I will running an event at the Middle Street Resource Centre as part of the Being Human Festival:

​

• How Can We Create Meaning? Creativity, Making Meaning and Mental Health

​

​

​

 

 

 

Please visit the event website to find out more about this event and how you can participate!

​

This event comes after a series of events I organised at Middle Street in 2023. To read more about these, please visit the project website.

 

In 2023 I organised a workshop with my colleague Ian Kidd on Narrative, Mental Health, and Adverse Experiences. And in 2022 we organised an event on Mind, Mental Health, and Epistemic Injustice. We are planning more academic workshops for the future - so watch this space!
