[Centre for Agency, Values, and Ethics]

Hi all,


The first CAVE Workshop for this year is on mental health and agency. To register to attend, please contact Kelly at arts.cave at mq.edu.au. All welcome!


Mental Health and Agency


Date: Wednesday 28 February - Thursday 1 March 2018
Time: Wednesday 13:00 - 17:25; Thursday 09:20 - 13:20
Venue: TBC, Macquarie University


This workshop aims at exploring the interrelation between mental health and agency in psychopathological populations (e.g., autism or schizophrenia) with respect to (i) cognition, (ii) therapy, and (iii) moral implications. It is connected to Dr. Anika Fiebich’s visit whose aim is to evaluate and develop aspects of her current project “Mental Illness and Cooperation” in Milan, particularly with respect to (failures) of moral commitments.
