SUMMARY:Securitisation of Health group: November Meeting
DESCRIPTION:What is the securitisation of health?\n\n\n\nA number of policing and counter-extremism measures are embedded by the government into UK health services\, which at times require health workers to work closely with the police and other security agencies. \n\n\n\nThese measures risk undermining therapeutic relationships\, confidentiality and trust in practitioners – as well as drawing health services and workers into becoming an arm of policing and counter-terror agencies. \n\n\n\nThrough research and campaigns\, Medact aims to shift understandings of ‘security’\, from typically “hard” measures (border enforcement\, a punitive criminal justice system\, counter-terror measures) and advocate for collective and human security\, health and wellbeing. Read more about our work on Securitisation here. \n\n\n\nAbout the group\n\n\n\nThe Securitisation of Health group is for health workers interested in working on these issues through campaigning\, lobbying and research. New members are welcome!  \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns about attending\, please email our Campaign Lead Sarah Lasoye at sarahlasoye@medact.org  \n\n\n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Researching state violence: Deaths by Welfare x Criminalising Distress
DESCRIPTION:For this edition of the Medact Research Network Quarterly meeting\, we’re excited to welcome guest speaker Dr China Mills\, who manages the Deaths by Welfare Project at Healing Justice London\, to introduce us to this project and its impact and implications for health justice work. \n\n\n\nMembers of the Medact Research Network will then present preliminary findings from our Criminalising Distress project. \n\n\n\nWe’ll also discuss the parallels between the two—especially the violence of state neglect towards those viewed as a burden on resources. We think this is going to be a great event\, so register below! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChina Mills leads the Deaths by Welfare project at Healing justice Ldn – researching welfare state violence alongside those most impacted. She is committed to research practice that cultivates and restores dignity\, belonging\, safety\, and that is abolitionist – in community with those harmed by state violence. She has published widely on state\, and corporate\, violence\, structural oppression\, suicide and mental health\, and is the author of Decolonising Global Mental Health (published by Routledge). She is also a member of the Poverty\, Power\, and Stigma design team at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation\, working alongside people with lived experience of poverty. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed]
