Really enjoyed presenting at Phenomenology of Health & Relationship conference yesterday, an event organised by Michael Larkin. This is new work with Rose McCabe on how to understand agency and responsibility in youth mental health. I loved the participants' engagement! #philsky #epistemicinjustice
