Voices from the Crowd: Media Gone Mental
Is the gap between biological and digital function closing? Are digital technologies making life easier?
Discussions about media and madness hosted by Making Waves and the Social Futures Research Centre, Institute for Mental Health. An open-format for public debate.
Making Waves is a survivor led organisation and lived experience collective and was founded to try and challenge the current understandings about people who have experienced mental distress. Making Waves members Julie Gosling and Caroline Fox also work as part of Open Futures Network which is service user and community led, bringing together local groups and local services, artists, activists, health care professionals and academics within collaborative and dynamic partnerships for well-being.
Current research explores areas such as trauma as roots of psychosis; Martin Luther King’s ideas on creative maladjustment; and PINE Participation In Nurse Education teaching programme led by Making Waves.
