Global Media Representations of Mental Health/Illness (Global Catalyst Grant Recipient)

What social and cultural assumptions are embedded in and reinforced by media portrayals of mental illness? How might richer, more counter-cultural depictions of mental illness broaden social understandings of distress, and highlight the structural factors that shape individual and group vulnerabilities? We aim not only to study portrayals of mental illness in media but to add to those portrayals by promoting the creation of film/TV (narrative and documentary), plays, performance pieces, and other forms of media. Our goal is to help rewrite dominant narratives and understandings of mental health in the U.S. and globally in a way that better captures the complex determinants, inequalities, and forms of knowledge production and activism at work.
