The Provocateurs: Horror Therapy / Ethical Innovators?

The Provocateurs • Professional company

60 minutes•Stand 4
Horror films can be cathartic, validating and meaningful. Can they be more helpful than counselling or therapy for dealing with anxiety, depression, grief or trauma? Trauma therapist Dr Amy Beddows (Edinburgh Napier University) and hardcore horror fan thinks so. Can you create a new and exciting innovative business and still be ethical? Join Provocateurs regular Nicola Osborne (The University of Edinburgh) to explore if new ideas and technologies – including AI – can still be ethical and inclusive.
