Face to Face: Women and the Asylum

Dundee Women's Festival 2018 logo
Dundee Women’s Festival 2018 runs from Sunday 4th March until Saturday 17th March.

We are pleased to be taking part in this year’s Dundee’s Women’s Festival.

Face to Face – Women and the Asylum will take a closer look at the lives of the women included in the exhibition.  In a short talk followed by a general discussion, we will look at the pathways that took these women to the asylum, uncovering their lived experiences within the institution and considering what messages for the future can be gained from an understanding of health care for the mentally ill in the past.

Join us at the University of Dundee on March 12th from 5:30pm until 6:45pm.  The event will take place in the D’Arcy Thompson Lecture Theatre in the Tower Building, Perth Road.
