27 April 2023 | Parklane Plowden to attend RE-DRAWING IDENTITY Conference

Parklane Plowden Chambers are delighted to be attending the Re-Drawing Identity: Help Me Feel Different, Don’t Change Who I am conference.

In this conference, Social Return will explore what happens when the continuity of the ‘who I am’ story is abruptly interrupted, fractured by a catastrophic event that forever changes the story, whether through pain, trauma, loss of function, severe psychological distress, or in the case of acquired brain injury, damage to the very mechanisms which generate the sense of self in the first place.

The fundamental tension embedded in the challenge to identity that a catastrophic event can bring, and the desire to move forward without losing the sense of self, will be explored through presenters who will highlight collaborative practices, new approaches, experiential learning and opportunities for change.

Venue: Leeds Conservatoire, LS2 7PD

Time: 9:20 - 16:15
