Hi @FirstName,

Welcome to our second session of Bridges Inside: Women and Prison for 2025. This discussion will take place on Thursday the 1st of May from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm in the Rogers Room (N397) in the John Woolley Building. Guided by our wonderful special guests Emma Tseris and Scarlett Franks, we will be thinking about women’s experiences of involuntary mental health treatment. The session will begin with a discussion of Emma's and Scarlett's (and Eva Bright Hart's) co-authored paper ‘“My Voice Was Discounted the Whole Way Through”’ (2022), a qualitative study of the heightened harms experienced by women subjected to involuntary mental health treatment. In the second part of the discussion, we will be looking at an excerpt from Mary O’Hagan’s memoir Madness Made Me (2014), a book which aims to show that madness is “a profoundly disruptive but full human experience."

We look forward to seeing you there!
