We are excited to announce a collaborative, one-day conference event, in
Birmingham UK, co-hosted by the Phenomenology of Health and
Relationships (PHaR) group at Aston University and the Birmingham
Network for Phenomenology and Mental Health group at University of
Birmingham.
THEME: Relationships and Mental Health.
WHERE: The Exchange, Birmingham.
WHEN: Tuesday 12th May, 2026.
Submissions
We would like to invite proposals at this time and welcome proposals for
papers, symposia, discussions, workshops or other academic activities
which draw upon phenomenological concepts or experiential methods, and
which engage with mental health and relationships, or the process of
understanding their experience and meaning.
As always, we are interested to hear about works-in-progress and to host
discussions about methodological and conceptual innovations, dilemmas
and challenges. Contributions can include conceptual, methodological or
applied work. We look forward to hosting speakers from a variety of
backgrounds including philosophy, psychology, social science, lived
experience, and healthcare. Submissions from early career researchers
are welcome.
Proposals should be submitted by email to phar-aston@outlook.com by
Friday 20th March 2026. Decisions will be announced by the end of March.
We do not propose to have a poster session. We are keen to support
creative approaches to presentation, engagement and discussion. If you
have an idea for a format which is unusual, or which may require a
specific configuration of space, please contact us to discuss it, on the
email address above. If you’re searching for inspiration, the
Liberating Structures website (click on the boxes at www.liberatingstructures.com/ls/ to explore) has lots of interesting ideas.
Format for individual submissions
Please write ‘2026 Submission’ in the subject header of your email.
Please attach a Word document containing an abstract and title for your proposed contribution, and your preferred format.
Please email it to phar-aston@outlook.com by Friday 20th March 2026.

An Eventbrite link for registration will be available very soon.
Please note that this conference will be in-person only and no travel or
