#mhTV episode 54 - The (h)Art of Mental Health

Welcome to episode 54 [originally broadcast on Wednesday 30 June 2021] of #mhTV​​​​​​​​​​​​​. This week Vanessa Gilmartin Garrity and Nicky Lambert spoke with guest Rebecca Bevington about the (h)Art of Mental Health. Rebecca is a doctoral researcher in York’s Department of English and Related Literature, funded by the White Rose College of the Arts and Humanities (WRoCAH). She runs The Social Library alongside Vanessa Gilmartin-Garrity, discussing different aspects of storytelling in a wide range of books, poetry, films and plays. Rebecca’s research focuses on literary testimonies of refugee women, drawing together traditional political theory with the experiences of exclusion and exile, precarity and survival that are expressed in feminist contemporary writing. She is interested in the relationship between writing, politics, and care work, as well as mental health and other facets of social exclusion.
