When a class of Princeton students took the bus to New York City for a week-long student project, Sophie Jin's goal was to learn more about the lives of people with serious mental illness. A junior in the Woodrow Wilson School for Public and International Affairs, she and her classmates expected to see the workings of stigma. But after meeting and talking with consumers, psychiatrists, members of the helping profession, they discovered the rich, complex lives often dismissed categorically simply as"mentally ill." The project, she writes in the Daily Princetonian, "became a study in the formulation of identity beyond diagnosis."
