In this episode, we’ll be exploring the work of Dr. Jaswant Guzder, an internationally renowned transcultural psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and visual artist. Our conversation will touch on her work at the intersection of child psychiatry, culture, and community-based mental health, drawing from her leadership roles in Montreal and Victoria, as well as her research and teaching projects in Jamaica and India. We’ll also reflect on how her South Asian heritage, artistic practice, and decades of clinical and academic experience shape her approach to healing, pedagogy, and global mental health.
