This workshop will bring together a group of scholars working on mental health care, both historically and today, in the Asia-Pacific region. Specifically, our group is interested in upending hierarchies which privilege expert (and Western) knowledge over the experience and agency of patients and their families. Drawing on notions of co-production, we seek to develop new research frameworks which provide a space for self-reflection among the users of mental health care, carers, and mental health professionals, and which envision new, dynamic forms of collaboration between users, practitioners and researchers. A closer association between users, carers, and mental health professionals will enable the latter to formulate interventions that are more culturally appropriate. In particular, we will attend to the language and cognitive frameworks with which these various stakeholders have come to intimately understand themselves and others, and how these frameworks also developed out of the transnational, cross-cultural circulations of knowledges and practices.
