School of Psychology Colloquium: Professor Katherine Boydell - The Black Dog Institute

The School of Psychology invite you to attend our SoP Colloquium for July 2021

Guest Speaker: Professor Katherine Boydell from The Black Dog Institute.

Title: An aesthetic of knowledge translation: Using the arts to create and share research.

This presentation provides an overview of the ways in which body mapping, digital storytelling, photovoice and other arts-based methods have been used to depict the lived experience of mental health challenges and communicate research knowledge.

Bio: Professor Boydell is Head of the AKT (arts-based knowledge translation) Lab at the Black Dog Institute. Her participatory, collaborative program of research uses the arts, broadly defined, in the research creation and dissemination process. She has published more than 200 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. She uses installation art as a knowledge translation strategy to share empirical research findings to a wide range of audiences. Using these strategies has resulted in increased mental health literacy, decreased stigma and enhanced help seeking.
