Wellcome Seed Workshop: Suicide, Society and Crisis
January 19, 2018
Organisers: Julie Gottlieb and Stephanie Wright
This is the first of two workshops funded by Julie Gottlieb’s Wellcome Seed Award.
The aims of the Workshop are as follows:
- The aims of the Workshop are as follows:
- To launch the collaborative element of the project
- To bring together members of the original-named steering committee with those who have joined since the application was funded, to form the core group of a network
- From historical, comparative and contemporary perspectives, to share research that speaks to the central research question: the correlation between suicide and (inter)national crisis
- To consider the policy and practical implications and potential of our work, and, for instance, its ability to provide insight into recent suicide epidemics connected to PTSD and veterans of the Iraq Wars, the increase in suicides during the 2008 Financial Crisis, mental health in refugee communities, up to the psychological fallout of Brexit
- To exchange ideas and share disciplinary perspectives, methods and conceptual frameworks that will place the research questions in cross, multi and interdisciplinary perspectives—to learn from each other
- To provide input to the call for papers and the planning and organization of the symposium scheduled for 18-19 May, 2018
- To connect us as researchers, identifying common ground and common concerns, with a view to collaboration and joint applications for further funding, Wellcome and other schemes
Workshop programme
Workshop participants will be paired, and each person will work with someone from a discipline other than their own. Each researcher will be asked to present elements of their research that relate to the central research questions. Papers (approximately 2000-3000 words) will be exchanged before the workshop. On 19 January, each participant will provide a short summary of their research rather than read their papers (10 minutes), followed by a commentary by the partner (10 minutes). There will then be time for Q& A.
