The St John’s Interdisciplinary Psychoanalysis Seminar
St John’s College, Oxford has provided a venue for this seminar, convened by Professor K. P. Tod and Dr Louise Braddock, since 2006. The seminar moved online in the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, but has maintained an ongoing in-room presence with a number of workshops, including two on the work of Richard Wollheim, in 2022, and 2023, and another upcoming in 2024.
The IPT Network
The Interdisciplinary Psychoanalytic Thought Network (IPT), which formed in 2020, is an online ‘intellectual collective’ of social scientists, philosophers and psychoanalytic practitioners. Its programme, Trauma and Transmission, is aimed at understanding the ways that trauma, whether in early childhood or later in life, is transmitted both within and between persons.
Conversations between different disciplines bring different theories and methods of study to bear on the psychological and social mechanisms through which affect, while remaining unconscious (in the sense of being unavailable to conscious reflective understanding) is transmitted, individually and collectively.
The network receives project funding from the Independent Social Research Foundation (ISRF), and also works collaboratively with the ISRF’s own Political Affect programme of research.
The Royal Institute of Philosophy
The Wollheim Centenary Project is a Local Partner of the Royal Institute of Philosophy. In line with the Institute’s dedication to ‘sharing philosophical thinking as widely as possible’, the Centenary Project will make accessible many aspects of Wollheim’s challenging work.
