Description
Discussions around mental health are everywhere. But as different industries ask themselves how to get mental health right, our research points towards the need for a shift in how we understand its causes and, by extension, deliver solutions. In this episode, host Eliot is joined by ReD partner Anne Mette Wørose Lottrup and Emily Mendenhall, medical anthropologist and professor at Georgetown University, to discuss moving beyond a biological and individual understanding of mental health. How do the social sciences help us get to the social, environmental, and cultural factors underpinning psychological distress? What new opportunities for public and private players does this widening in our understanding afford? And how might a more holistic approach to care offer new approaches to solutions and a way out of our current mental health crisis?

On Collaboration: The COVID-19 outbreak has put high-stakes pressure on complex problem-solving across disciplines. ReD Associates put together this episode of Phenomena to explore what kinds of problems require interdisciplinary collaboration and how teams get it right when experts are coming from radically different world views. Drawing from a recent project with Facebook Reality Labs, we reconvened our research team composed of an anthropologist, cognitive scientist and machine learning expert to talk about their experience of learning together and collaborating. by Phenomena
