30 June – 1 July, 2016, Lapinlahti, Helsinki
An international symposium organized by the Helsinki Network for Philosophy of Psychiatry, in collaboration with TINT (Centre of Excellence in the Philosophy of the Social Sciences), the Subjectivity, Historicity, Communality Research Network and the Doctoral Programme for Philosophy, Arts and Society.
Our theme, Culture, Extended, Embodied Cognition and Mental Disorders, encompasses cultural issues of mental disorders related to diagnostics, definitions and classifications, as well as phenomenological questions of experience, affectivity and embodiment. The aim of the symposium is to open new horizons for interdisciplinary approaches to mental disorders.
Two days of lectures and discussions among researchers and practitioners take place in the historic Lapinlahti Hospital, which is a former mental institution, among the first modern psychiatric hospitals in Europe.
Keynote speakers include:
Giovanna Colombetti, Associate Professor at University of Exeter
Rachel Cooper, Senior Lecturer at Lancaster University
Daniel Hutto, Professor at University of Wollongong
Harold Kincaid, Professor at University of Cape Town
Dominic Murphy, Associate Professor at University of Sydney
Jaakko Seikkula, Professor at University of Jyväskylä
