Ashley Frawley - Constructing a Crisis
Description
Ashley Frawley is a sociologist at the University of Kent, a columnist at Compact Magazine, and the COO of Sublation Media. She joins me to talk about her new paper “Constructing a Crisis: Mental Health, Higher Education and Policy Entrepreneurs.” The paper explores how the narrative of a mental health crisis amongst UK university students was created and perpetuated, and what this teaches us about the expansion of mental health discourse and psychological categorization more generally.
You can find the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
