Freud stands in a university classroom, addressing the future

'Should Psychoanalysis be Taught at Universities?'

08/10/2024 - 08/10/2024

6pm - 8pm

3.320

Our weekly meetings kick off this Tuesday @ 6pm (Room 3.320)!

For our first event, we will be discussing a Freud text called "Should Psychoanalysis be Taught at Universities?"

This newly translated piece outlines the possibility (and lack) of a place for psychoanalysis in academia, inviting a broader conversation on its relevance today.

Whether you're a seasoned psyche-naut or just curious, this is a great opportunity to engage with the status of Psychoanalysis today!

~~~

There will also be a quick orientating presentation, an icebreaker, and maybe(??) some tea.

As usual, we will reconvene in Top Bar afterwards:)

Not sure how to get there? We'll be near entrance 2NE @ Square 2 to usher you in!
