Going through Overwhelming Experiences: Organizations in Times of Austerity – Case Study Forum
Friday 29th November 1pm - 5 pm Room B03, 43 Gordon Square
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 welcome!
The Programme and Case Study Abstracts can be found here.
