BSA Sociology, Psychoanalysis and the Psychosocial Study Group in collaboration with The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations and Birkbeck Institute for Social Research:
CASE STUDY FORUM – Going through Overwhelming Experiences: Organizations in Times of Austerity
Friday 29th November 1pm – 5 pm
In these turbulent times organisations of all kinds are being buffeted from many sides as funding is cut and internal pressure builds. Work in such organizations can be an overwhelming experience for people at all levels and in all kinds of roles. The aim of this forum is to provide a learning space for reflection on the range of methods and approaches that can incorporate psychoanalysis in sociological enquiry. All material will be confidential and there will be no recording at the event. Publication on a blog will be available for those who wish.
