Hi folks, 🧵summary of paper published by @BJofSW available free here: tinyurl.com/ybsntx2t Re-reading this paper, I’m struck by how damn complicated I write and how much I shove into one article! So apologies in advance for those of you who venture into the actual paper 🙈
In this paper, we critique dominant enactments of professional boundaries & attempt to think about boundaries differently. Our thinking is prompted by a bunch of things: incl. discussions with peer support workers, Mad studies, posthumanist theorising, our own experiences

Attempting to create more accessible work. Not perfect.. but what follows is a summary 🧵of a paper my supervisors and I wrote about the way peer workers are implicated in particular problems constructed through Aust mental health policy.
We recognize and value the work of activists that has contributed to peer work being included in MH policy. Whilst not wanting to undermine this work, we attend to some of the limits of current inclusionary practices
