Voces y trayectorias

About the Series

Voces y trayectorias is an online conversation series hosted under the Transitions Project (Wellcome Trust, King’s College London). The series brings together activists, policymakers, practitioners, and researchers who have shaped, implemented, or reflected on psychiatric deinstitutionalisation in Latin America and beyond.

Each conversation explores both the personal and collective dimensions of reform—its motivations, challenges, lessons, and futures—highlighting three central perspectives:

A historical lens, connecting past experiences and present challenges;

Perspectives from the Global South, foregrounding locally grounded approaches to reform; and

Insights from the social sciences, expanding how mental health systems and change are understood.
