Decolonizing the Psyche: The Politics of Ethnopsychology, 1930-1980

As part of the colloquiums program in the winter term 2023/2024 Micha Suter (Genf) will hold a talk on "Decolonizing the Psyche: The Politics of Ethnopsychology, 1930 1980" on November 21 at 6pm in LG4/D06.

Mischa Suter is a Swiss National Science Foundation Assistant Professor at the Graduate Institute since 2021. He is the Principal Investigator of a research project on the history of ethnopsychology, a scientific discourse that emerged in late colonialism. The five-year project studies the political implications of debates on the nature of the human psyche – particularly of people from the Global South – during the “long” moment of decolonisation, 1930–1980.

All interested - colleagues and students - are cordially invited to join in person or online.

Please let Bernhard Kleeberg or Carola Oßmer know if you're interested in joining the talk.
