I am a PhD student in social anthropology researching voice-hearing, meaning-making in psychosis, and alternative approaches to forced psychiatric treatment. I have a strong background in documentary filmmaking and received my MSc in Global Mental Health from the University of Edinburgh in 2020, graduating with distinction. I engage in ethnographic research and my work focuses on the lived experiences of individuals experiencing psychosis. My research interests include Medical Anthropology, Ethnographic Film, Mad Studies, and Critical Mental Health. I have published on the transformative potential of psychosis and have presented my work at various international conferences. Furthermore, I have taught courses on critical approaches to Global Mental Health at the University of Edinburgh, where I aim to challenge traditional narratives surrounding mental health and advocate for alternative perspectives.
