The call for papers for the 25th Annual Conference of the International Network for Philosophy and Psychiatry has now been launched. The theme is Crisis and Mental Health – philosophical and social aesthetic perspectives.

Live & Unplugged Conversations on Birth is where philosophy translates in clinical practice and lively conversations begin. In this exploratory laboratory, we will bridge traditional silos between reproductive care and philosophy. We have the opportunity here to also create participatory values-based practice in childbirth for all to enrich us all.

Globally, the call for the humanization of childbirth is loud and urgent. The rate childbirth-related trauma, maternal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality in BIPOC communities, and the lack of midwifery for people of all genders, testify that we are not yet getting it right.
