Subject: ARC grant success for Dominic Murphy

Dear all,

We just found out that A/Prof Dominic Murphy has been awarded an ARC Discovery grant for his research project on Culture, Cognition, and Mental Illness. He will have $228K to spend over the next 3 years.

Congratulations to Dominic!

Culture, cognition and mental illness

ARC Discovery project.
This project aims to establish conceptual foundations for studying cultural variation in mental disorders and their implications for cognitive and behavioural science. Mental disorder contributes to the burden of death and disability around the world, but modern psychiatric theories must also deal with non-Western forms of mental illness. Do non-Western individuals suffer from the same conditions as Westerners, but in a different form, or do they suffer from distinctive local conditions? This project intends to discuss the foundational issues raised within psychiatry. This will contribute to a greater understanding of the mental health of non-Western populations.
