Welcome to the Salon! In March 2024 we assumed the role of official podcasters of Creative Brain Week - a Global Brain Health Institute innovation at Trinity College Dublin, presented in association with Creative Aging International, the Jameel Arts & Health Lab, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and with support from Creative Ireland and the Atlantic Institute. We spoke with a plethora of poets and policymakers, hosted reflection sessions, and chatted with some fascinating researchers. In this mini episode, you will hear poetry from the amazing Morag Anderson (Scottish Poetry Library), delve with us into the research of neuropsychologist Dr Tanisha Hill-Jarrett (University of California, San Francisco) incorporating everything from systemic racism to Afrofuturism as art and epistemology, and gain some insights from the Reflection Sessions we co-hosted with Morag at the end of each conference day.
