Samantha Baker
I am an honours student and research assistant at the School of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Sydney. I have a background in psychology and media-communications.
I have been working on this project over the past year, and I have aimed to immerse myself in the lived experience narratives of the consumer, survivor, ex-patient movement through transcribing interviews and multimedia work.
My current focus is on the intersection of the community mental health movement and queer liberation. My honours thesis explores this topic by highlighting the history of Australia's first refuge for transgender women
