Mental health features as a curriculum area across a range of
disciplines in higher education, and as a key concern for those
involved in learning and in teaching.
What do learners learn from
what we teach? How else do they learn about mental wellbeing and ill
health? What are the related issues and concepts that we neglect to
teach?
This interdisciplinary conference sets out to answer these questions and pose others, to present some new ideas about Threshold Concepts and the role of lived experience in learning and teaching and to fly some kites for the future – exploring how the learning and legacy of the Mental Health in Higher Education project (mhhe) can be built upon.
Keynote speakers:
- Prof. Glynis Cousin on ‘Threshold Concepts and Troublesome Knowledge’
- Prof. Gail Hornstein, author of ‘Agnes’ Jacket: a Psychologist’s search for the Meanings of Madness’, on first person accounts and teaching
- Prof. Ann Davis, Director of the Centre of Excellence in Interdisciplinary Mental Health, on looking to the future: ‘We’ve lived and learned but where do we go from here?’
Deadline for all bookings: 12th March 2010
