Embodied Experience: Gut-brain connections in Neuroscience, History, and Dance
Join us in the visceral understanding of our gut, brain, and behaviour.
About Embodied Experience: Gut-brain connections in Neuroscience, History, and Dance
When we ask questions about who we are and how we feel, many of us talk in terms of the mind. However, new research increasingly points to a close link between our gut and our brain, throwing new light on the world of mental health.
In this discussion, Dr. Bhismadev Chakrabarti - professor of Neuroscience and Mental Health at the University of Reading - Dr. Matthew Smith - professor of Health History at the University of Strathclyde - and Aby Watson - neurodivergent dance artist, performer, and researcher - will examine the changing ways we have viewed the complex interactions that make up the gut-brain axis.
Expect a novel understanding of gut feelings, fresh ideas about how we embody experience, and the implications these may have for the ‘treatment’ of diagnosed conditions.
Refreshments and a networking session are included.
Bio-Lit Talks is an interdisciplinary collaboration exploring biological research from the perspectives of the Arts, Sciences and Humanities. In this series, we are discussing the gut and how it impacts our lives. We’ll examine our inner ecosystem and its significance to our behaviour, nutrition, food culture and societal way of being.
Structured as a four-event series and focusing on a new topic each week, join us as we explore ourselves at our core.
Other events:
Wednesday, 2 November 2022, 4-6 PM (GMT) - Inner Ecosystems: entanglements of the gut microbiome across Science, Literature, and Art
Wednesday, 23 November 2022, 6-8 PM (GMT) - More than a Meal: exploring the culture behind food production and consumption
Thursday, 1 December 2022, 6-8 PM (GMT) - Nutrition Past and Present: the relationship between diet and health from the nineteenth-century to today
