It is supported by the MOD\u2019s Aged Veterans Fund via the Royal British Legion. We use a combination of qualitative interviews, workshops, and philosophical argument to investigate: (1) the therapeutic benefits of autobiographical storytelling for military veterans; and (2) the applicability of the philosophies of autobiography and of well-being to veterans\u2019 lives. We aim both at understanding the nature of martial lives in time, and at interventions to improve the lives of veterans.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Philosophy of Psychiatry<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Rachel Cooper and a number of PhD students work on problems in the Philosophy of Psychiatry.

It is funded by a Wellcome Trust Senior Investigator Award in Ethics and Society.\u00a0 The research considers the ethical framework for the donation and transfer of human reproductive materials (such as eggs and sperm), coupled with the implications of this framework for clinical practice, law, policy, and regulation.\u00a0 Specific issues presently being examined include ethical and legal questions\u00a0 raised by in vitro gametogenesis, mitochondrial replacement, and uterus transplants.<\/p>\n<p>The Reproductive Donation website is here: <a href=\"https:\/\/exchange2010.lancs.ac.uk\/owa\/redir.aspx?C=GO4vRtdX2WpfMoiRVCWVxQcIaobw5_B4PUm5pDxjk50KCea7ydLUCA..&amp;URL=http%3a%2f%2fwp.lancs.ac.uk%2freproductive-donation%2f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/reproductive-donation\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Martial Lives and Transformative Experiences Martial Lives and Transformative Experiences is an interdisciplinary project run by Liz Brewester (Faculty of Health and Medicine) and Sam Clark.
