Delighted to share the new special issue on Global Mental Health I edited!

...in which I revisit the epistemic politics of the field in light of its changing agenda, methods, people, and the changing contours of the "gap."

The Global Mental Health special issue in Transcultural Psychiatry is here: https://t.co/jaK4ToyfjD

The open-access editorial by our very own @DBemme revisits the epistemic politics of the field, including a critical reflection on the changing contours of the "gap."

“We propose a historical approach that is attentive to how culture has been operationalized ideologically in the geographies of the global south (…)”

New, excellent piece by @cultmindcenter’s @anaantic_hist et al.

Central to our #research approach is social #theory based on multiple forms of knowledge. In a new CSMH led article, 39 international collaborators have developed a framework to guide mutuality in global #mentalhealth
