Wednesday, January 15, 2025 • Duration 01:28:09

We all have treasured memories, but what, exactly, is it that makes them so valuable to us?

Trauma, Emotion, and Memory; Presented by James Dawes

Season 3 · Episode 2

Friday, December 6, 2024 • Duration 01:25:22

How does memory help some people grow after trauma? Post-traumatic growth (PTG) is a term which has been extensively studied by psychologists for the past 30 years, but also represents a new version of an ancient idea present in theology, philosophy, and cultural narratives – namely, that great good can come from adversity and suffering. In his talk, James Dawes explores the role of memory in PTG. How should trauma be remembered?

The Importance of Forgetting; Presented by Rima Basu

Season 3 · Episode 1

Monday, November 25, 2024 • Duration 01:21:37

Welcome to the London Lecture Series 2024-25! This year our talks focus on questions surrounding the theme of "Remembering and Forgetting."

In this first talk of our latest series, Rima Bisu explores the important role forgetting plays in facilitating and protecting moral goods, such as forgiveness and privacy. Forgetting plays an indispensable role in our lives. Sometimes we want aspects of our identity to be forgotten, and there is a distinctive harm that accompanies the permanence of some content about us. How do we navigate this duty to forget with other important elements of our social and epistemic lives?

Rethinking Disenchantment and the Immanent Frame; Presented by Camilia Kong

Season 2 · Episode 14

Wednesday, July 3, 2024 • Duration 01:32:43

Why is it so tempting to understand spirituality / religion as counter to our conception of mental health, both in terms of its causality and its therapeutic restoration?

Camilia Kong seeks to provide a philosophical diagnosis of the problem through Taylor’s discussion of the ‘immanent frame’ in Western modernity, and in so doing, provide the conceptual space for enriching understanding of divergent explanatory frameworks of mental disorder and cognitive disability in other sociocultural contexts.

Beyond Psychiatry: Rethinking Madness Outside Medicine; Presented by Justin Garson

Season 2 · Episode 13

Wednesday, July 3, 2024 • Duration 01:26:05

Since the 1970s, psychiatry has been in the grip of a paradigm I call ‘madness-as-dysfunction’. In this view, mental disorders happen when something inside the person isn’t working as it should, or is ‘broken.’

In his previous work, Justin Garson has identified an alternate paradigm, which he calls ‘madness-as-strategy,’ which sees mental illness in terms of purpose, adaptation and function. In this lecture, Justin contrasts these frameworks and outlines their implications for research, treatment and stigma.

Mad Knowledge and Relations; Presented by Jasna Russo and Erick Fabris

Season 2 · Episode 12

Wednesday, July 3, 2024 • Duration 01:27:15

Is mad life possible? Constrained by everyday mentalism, and controlled by various forms of psychiatrization of our biographies, we ask – can we live the lives we dream rather than dreaming that we live?

Jasna Russo looks at the processes of knowledge making on what is considered madness and our ability to address each other in the second person, as you and me. Erick Fabris revisits a life of activism, from mutual aid to identity politics, and asks if Mad culture is possible in our time.

Ethnic Inequalities in Experience of Mental Distress; Presented by Kam Bhui

Season 2 · Episode 11

Wednesday, July 3, 2024 • Duration 01:31:14

Over six decades of research confirm there are ethnic inequalities in the experiences and outcomes of severe mental illness. The reasons for these differences have been debated, some arguing they meet treatment needs, others say they are manifestations of structural racism.

Kim Bhui shares his views on conceptual confusions, causes, and remedies by drawing on recent Lived Experience Data on compulsory treatment, other research, and campaigns over three decades.
