Madness, Citizenship, and Social Justice

This public conference, hosted by the Institute for the Humanities at Simon Fraser University, will take place at the SFU Vancouver campus, British Columbia, Canada on Thursday June 12th through Saturday June 14th, 2008. Our objective is to provide a forum in which critical topics and issues related to madness, citizenship, human rights and the role of the ‘psy’ professions can be explored across a range of intersecting positions and perspectives. Participants and delegates will include academics, users/survivors, activists, advocates, practitioners, and community workers from the local Vancouver area, across Canada and around the world.
