AWP Conference
March 26-29, 2025
Los Angeles, CA

Stories of Mental Health from the Margins
with Mimi Khúc, Nina Sharma, and Jafreen Uddin
Panel time/date TBD

Healthcare and wellness, notions once believed to be self-evident, have in recent years become increasingly fraught sites of critical reconceptualization. This panel will upend received beliefs regarding our contemporary understanding of both concepts, discussing the systematically ignored psychic lives of marginalized groups in the United States, the belief that sickness is the aberrant alternative to healthfulness, and the overlooked events in people’s lives that have lasting consequences.
