In this installment I (Ian) interview Professor Helen Spandler, Dr Jill Anderson and Tamsin Walker, of the University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN) about their Wellcome Trust funded project which explores how zines ‘craft contention’ about mental health – and can help to turn individual struggles into critical issues for society.

I really enjoyed this interview. I am very taken with the idea of mad studies. For an introduction to this exciting new area of study and activism, check out this article by Helen Spandler.

Helen and Jill work on Asylum Magazine, to which Tamsin often contributes cartoons. Asylum, the radical mental health magazine, has been running for 30 years, acting as a platform to voice and discuss all perspectives on mental health.

    Great podcast thanks for sharing zines and their unique way of communicating. I enjoyed learning more about the Mad Zines, having initially learned about them in the Unconference. I’m grateful you interviewed these researches and zinesters.
