Global Mental Health Research
D. Pedersen, L. Kirmayer, Jaswant Guzder & Allan Young
The seminar provides an introduction to key issues in global mental health (GMH) research with special reference to low and middle-income countries (LMICs). We will explore the tensions between a vertical public health approach, grounded in a biomedical frame and current evidence-based practices, and a horizontal community-based approach, that emphasizes local taxonomies and priorities, empowerment of local resources and endogenous solutions. The seminar will build a cultural critique of GMH and raise basic issues for discussion: (a) current priorities in GMH research have been largely framed by mental health professionals and their institutional partners based in Northern countries, reflecting the dominant interests of psychiatry and paying insufficient attention to Southern partners and local priorities; (b) the assumption in GMH that major psychiatric disorders are biologically determined and therefore universal; (c) the focus on existing evidence-based treatments, and the assumption that Western standard treatments can be readily applied across cultures with minimal adaptation; and (d) the emphasis on GMH interventions that may marginalize indigenous forms of healing and coping which may contribute to positive outcomes and recovery. The ultimate goal of this seminar is to outline a balanced critical perspective on GMH as a new field of enquiry and practice that acknowledges the importance of the social determinants of mental health and the interplay between the social and the cultural with the biological dimensions of mental health. The seminar will include lectures, panel presentations, case studies and plenary discussions of readings by faculty and students, supplemented by video documentaries and films.

Critical Neuroscience
S. Choudhury, I. Gold, & Faculty
This course provides an overview of recent controversies surrounding cognitive听neuroscience and the implications of recent advancements for psychiatry, industry, policy听and other areas of social life. It will present key studies in social and cultural听neuroscience from the last two decades and examine the potentials and limitations of听predominant methodologies, particularly neuroimaging. The course will present the听interdisciplinary project of critical neuroscience as a framework and set of tools with听which to critically analyze interpretations of neuroscience data in the academic literature,听their representation in popular domains and more broadly, the growth of neurocultures听since the Decade of the Brain. The course will provide a forum to problematize, and听consider alternatives to, neurobiological reductionism in psychiatry, areas of neuroethics,听cultural neuroscience and neuropolicy, attending to the models, metaphors and political听contexts of mainstream brain research. It will also explore various avenues for听engagement between neuroscience, social science and humanities.
