The Architecture Of Stigma With Imogen Tyler

Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world. 

In this week’s episode Niall is holding a lens up to stigma, with a focus on mental health stigma. Although there has been positive change in how we see mental health thanks to awareness days and campaigns, we will never fully erode stigma at a personal, public or institutional level until we look at its origins. 

Niall is joined by Professor of Sociology, Imogen Tyler, who is a passionate community activist, anti-poverty campaigner and author of ‘Stigma: The Machinery Of Inequality’. Niall and Imogen take a historical look at stigma and discuss what it is, who creates it and what purpose it serves in society.
