with speaker Elaine Johnson.

Until the nineteenth century, ignorance about mental health meant that the treatment of mental illness was primitive, even cruel. Revolutionary methods at Lincoln eventually transformed practice nationally and throughout the world but not before much controversy and hostility.

Elaine works as a historical researcher and speaker as well as delivering an undergraduate module on local history at Lincoln Bishop University.

Location Queen’s Park Community Hub, Lincoln
