A Year of CAMHRA

Just over a year since CAMHRA launched at SOAS, University of London, the team reflects on what they have learned, achieved and where the Centre is heading next.

Just over a year since CAMHRA officially launched at SOAS, colleagues reflect on the Centre’s growth, achievements and evolving vision. In this video, they discuss the communities, collaborations and research culture that have emerged over the past 12 months, and the excitement of building a collective space for new thinking at the intersection of anthropology and mental health.

The team reflects on what they have learned from one another, the partnerships and funding that have helped shape CAMHRA’s first year, and the next generation of researchers joining the field. Looking ahead, they consider how anthropological approaches can continue to contribute new insights to mental health research while strengthening the collaborative and supportive spirit that sits at the heart of the Centre.
