Penguins on the Mind Exhibition

Using book history to illuminate the risks and opportunities of media work by psychological professionals, this physical exhibition and online exhibition curated Penguin titles on the 'psy' disciplines, c.1940–1980. 

An article ‘Behind the scenes of the paperback revolution’ was published in print and online in the BPS magazine, The Psychologist. ‘I went behind the scenes of Penguin’s psychiatric titles – what I found was women’s hidden labour’ was published in The Conversation. 

An expanded exhibition is under development for the Royal College of Psychiatrists following publication of ‘Beyond a literacy model for psychiatry in the mass media’ in BJPsych Bulletin.
