IF Oxford Science and Ideas Festival – Perceiving things differently: psychosis

IF Oxford captures interest in ‘science and ideas’ topics through educational projects and its quality October Festival. Events and long-term community programmes develop meaningful skills while sharing the positive impacts of innovation. Authentic connections with public audiences at the Festival increase science confidence and trust among adults and families in many venues across Oxford.

IF Oxford is a high-profile opportunity for people to explore innovative ideas and creative research. Combining science, technology, engineering and mathematics with arts, humanities and culture, IF Oxford brings together researchers, authors, creative professionals and community groups to share imaginative and thought‑provoking ideas with large public audiences across a number of public events taking place throughout October.

One of the events taking place as part of the 2023 festival is a discussion surrounding psychosis featuring Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre Theme Lead, and Oxford University Prof. Paul Harrison .

What is psychosis?… you can explore it at this event with Kathy Sykes, in a friendly discussion with psychiatrist Paul Harrison and others who have experienced psychosis. Compare perspectives, share tips on supporting people with psychosis and explore signs and symptoms informed by the latest research.

Suitable for teenagers and adults.

You are welcome to stay beyond 8pm to continue conversations in a safe space.
