New Research Directions in Global Mental Health symposium
This symposium organized by the Worldwide Universities Network will take place on June 12-13 at the University of Leeds. Save the date!
How is a changing world changing mental health? And how is it changing attitudes towards mental health? What are the emerging societal challenges and how can our research network respond to these challenges? How can mental health researchers respond to the impact of poverty, violence and inequity within diverse communities and cultures worldwide?
The purpose of this two-day symposium organised by the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) is to bring together researchers from a wide range of national contexts and disciplinary backgrounds in order to share knowledge, generate new research ideas and approaches. The conference will combine traditional conference practices with participatory workshops to develop new research.
The symposium is open to faculty members/academic researchers, doctoral students and postdoctoral trainees. It will be an in-person event, but the keynote presentations will be live-streamed. The venue facility is limited to a maximum of 100 participants.
More information is available on the Symposium Announcement. Registrations will open in February 2024, and a Call for Abstracts will be launched at the same time.
For more details, please contact Dr. John Bell at the University of Alberta.
