We are a group of mad scholars, activists and pioneers seeking systemic change in the field of mental health.

​

We met in January 2023 as students of the MSc Mad Studies course at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh. Mad Studies is an emerging academic discipline that interrogates the mainstream mental health system and supports activism for and by people with lived experience of mental illness, trauma and/or emotional distress.

​

Since then we have been learning together and working together as part of the mad movement, in order to share knowledge, invite dialogue, widen participation and inspire change.
