This month-long programme of dialogical events entitled Hysteria: Contested, Popularised, Diagnosed brought together people with lived experience of emotional distress and trauma, clinicians, artists and academics to explore the history, politics and legacy of the concept of hysteria.
Our series of evening events at The Dragon Cafe included Being BAME, an exploration of race politics in mental health and society and Unreliable Narrator, an engagement with the politics of language and gender.
