Service Description

Are you a Lived Experience Practitioner (LXP)? (Mad) Academic? Student? Clinician? Service User? Carer? Come and join us - Mad Studies is for everyone :-) For 2023 we are kicking the year off with one of our favourite themes: Power sharing; Co-production vs. Tokenism. We regularly discuss the subject of co-optation and appropriation of the original work of activists and lived experience professionals - whether activists, peer support workers, service development or organisational culture change agents. This paper takes the discussion into the world of research - what is tokenistic - what language is being used to hide tokenistic practice, and how can researchers & organisations do better? We are very blessed to have such an important paper written by regular faces at Mad Studies Birmingham - Nev Jones, Karen Machin & Matthew Jackman are some of the authors of this paper. Some of the eight authors will be joining us to discuss this paper.
