Subversion is a feature of some MadZines we’ve been reading in the MadZines project over recent months.
In this guest blog Rachel Rowan-Olive explains her approach to crafting MadZines about difficult topics that might, in other contexts, be deemed too ‘risky’.
Jill Anderson and Hel Spandler recently facilitated a stimulating discussion about MadZines with the tutors (Toby Brandon and Phil Saint) and students on the Mad Studies module, part of the BSc (Hons) in Integrated Health and Social Care at Northumbria University.
One aim of the MadZines project is to explore whether zines, and zine culture, can help to expand and enrich discussion about contested issues in mental health.
