What's next?

The Renewing Phenomenological Psychopathology was an International Exchange Award funded by Wellcome from April 2022 to October 2024. Even though the project has formally ended, much activity has continued to flourish afterwards:


RPP newsletter

In order to maintain the relationships developed over the course of the Renewing Phenomenological Psychopathology project, we will be sending out bi-monthly newsletters to let you know what other network members are up to, any ongoing projects or recent publications, and other calls and information network members might be interested in. Email us at phenompsych@contacts.bham.ac.uk to join the mailing list.


Project EPIC

Project EPIC (Epistemic Injustice in Healthcare) is a new large-scale 6  year research project funded by Wellcome, based at the Universities of Bristol (PI Havi Carel, Co-I Sheelagh McGuinness), Birmingham (Co-Is Lisa Bortolotti and Matthew Broome) and Nottingham (Co-I Ian James Kidd) with further partners at the Universities of Aston, City, Swansea, Bologna and Ferrara. This project will focus on testing and refining the concept of epistemic injustice in healthcare contexts, as well as developing ameliorative proposals. Many of the project’s investigators and postdoctoral researchers have backgrounds in phenomenology and will be seeking to apply phenomenological insights to the ongoing work on epistemic injustice. We hope that some of the ideas and inspiration from RPP will be carried over into future work on EPIC. Feel free to explore the project website, blog and connect with us!

What we've supported: International Exchange Fellowship

International Exchange Fellowship This fellowship allowed an individual to travel to sites across our network in order to undertake a placement for up to two months. This funding was for academics in the field of phenomenological psychopathology or allied fields, who wanted to develop collaborations with leading researchers, transform their careers and shape the direction of future research. International Exchange Fellows had the opportunity to work with international colleagues, gain vital experience in multi-/inter-disciplinary working and extend their international networks. We provided a £3000 stipend per International Exchange (IE) Fellow to cover travel, accommodation and any visa costs.  While we encouraged applicants to consider choosing one of the existing Network members, applicants were welcome to nominate an alternative suitable institution if there was interest in becoming a member of our Network. Applicants were required to submit: • A letter from the proposed host ...

The RPP Network

A core goal of the project was to establish an international network of academics in the area of phenomenological psychopathology. Applicants for RPP funded awards could then apply to specific sites that were part of this network, as potential host institutions for Knowledge Exchange Fellowships, events, research groups, mentoring schemes or other project related activities. These activities led, for example, to the production of academic outputs such as papers, publications, translations or major grant applications.  Network members include: 1.    Orygen , Melbourne, Australia  (Contact: Professor Barnaby Nelson ) 2.   Santa Casa de São Paulo School of Medical Sciences, Brazil (Contact: Professor Guilherme Messas , Head of the Postgraduate Program on Phenomenological Psychopathology) 3.   Centre for Health, Humanities and Science; and the Department of Philosophy, Bristol University, U.K.  (Contact: Professor Havi Carel ) 4.   Depa...

What we've supported: Knowledge Exchange Workshops and Events

Knowledge Exchange Workshops & Events Award Workshops and knowledge exchange events aimed to bring together international and interdisciplinary partners to collaborate and to develop new methodologies in phenomenological psychopathology. Two awards of up to £3000 were offered for in-person workshop, which are used to cover organisational expenses (e.g. the speakers’ travel expenses, accommodation and catering). Virtual workshops receive operational support from the project team for their organisation and delivery, as well as input and direction from the project leaders.  Following the completion of the knowledge exchange event, awardees are required to submit a 750-word summary detailing the outputs of the event. Some of the award winners include: Paul Lodge Paul Lodge is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford.
