A new venture...

Happy New Year to you all.

Late last year I wrote to everyone in the CPN letting them know that I’d be stepping down from the Network to start something new.

Well, I can now tell you what that is, and invite you to join in.

It’s called ParaDoxa, and it’s the first site dedicated to post-critical and post-conventional thinking in healthcare.

ParaDoxa is a free, email newsletter and website for health academics, clinicians, researchers, and students interested in the ‘posts’: post-critical thinking, post-humanism, post-professional healthcare practice, post-qualitative research, post-structural philosophy… and how they can be applied to healthcare.

It’s also designed to be a hub for radical thinking and a space for collaborative exploration. But this time, it’s for everyone in healthcare, not just physios.

Just like the CPN site, you can view the website at any time, but sign up and you’ll receive every new post delivered directly to your email inbox as soon as they’re written.

You can read a blog post here explaining why I’ve started ParaDoxa, the weekly digests are back, and there are some other resources already loaded onto the site to give you a feel for how it will work.

If you’d like to know more about the ethos behind ParaDoxa, you can find it here. 

In a week’s time, I’ll post up the first of a new series of podcast interviews with leading researchers in the field (the first one features our very own Prof Barbara Gibson).

Posts come out a couple of times a week and are delivered directly to your email inbox.

So, if you have colleagues who you think would also like to know about the site, please pass on this message. 

Thanks in advance.
