DESCRIPTION:Pregnancy and early motherhood are times of great change for a
  woman\, embodied in physiological\, emotional\, social and deeply persona
 l transformations. Becoming a mother requires multiple creativities\, in d
 ay-to-day practices as well as in renegotiations of identities and roles. 
 This life period can also be complicated by postnatal depression (PND)\, a
 n illness thought to affect almost 13% of new mothers in the UK\, characte
 rised by often debilitating depression and/or anxiety. With problems in ex
 isting pharmacological and psychological treatment models for PND\, this t
 alk will draw upon newly conducted mixed-method research to explore how en
 gagement in arts-based creativities can relate to\, and impact upon\, the 
 wellbeing of pregnant women and new mothers.\n\n*Rosie Perkins* is a Resea
 rch Fellow in Performance Science at the Royal College of Music London and
  mother to her two-year old son. Rosie holds a BMus and MA from the Univer
 sity of Sheffield and a PhD from the University of Cambridge. Her  current
  research interests lie in music and mental health\, musicians' wellbeing\
 , identities and career development\, and the learning cultures of higher 
 music education. Rosie is an honorary member of the Dutch research group L
 ifelong Learning in Music\, a Fellow of the Institute of Mental Health Uni
 versity of Nottingham\, and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
