Welcome, listeners!
In the latest episode of Gidspeaks, I had the pleasure of delving into a fascinating discussion with Lea Bachmann, a doctoral student specializing in Transcultural German Studies. Together, we explored themes of depression and suicide as portrayed in young adult and children's literature. Throughout our conversation, we uncovered intriguing trends and parallels in how mental health is depicted across different cultural landscapes.
We also examined how these literary representations intersect with real-life experiences and the implications they hold for our daily lives. Lea provided valuable insights into her own research and its practical applications, shedding light on the broader significance of studying such topics in literature.

Tune in to the podcast for an engaging exploration of mental health in literature, and we hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did :)
