Representing the patient's voice: How authentic is the voice in Royal Edinburgh Asylum's Morningside Mirror(1845-1852)?

Emmay Deville is a recent graduate of the History Department. In 2020/21 she undertook an extra-curricular research project funded by the Undergraduate Research Support Scheme (URSS), supervised by Professor Hilary Marland.

Her project sought to inquire whether the patient's voice presented in the Royal Edinburgh Asylum's patient-run periodical "Morningside Mirror" was censored by medical staff.

To find out more about Emmay's research, please view the website she has created.
