Stories and Imagination
Book ticketsOrganised by:
Human Development Scotland
Description
‘Stories and Imagination’ is a series of presentations and discussions where we will consider three contemporary children’s stories, focusing on what they show us about children’s developmental struggles. What might we learn from contemporary Children’s Literature about the experience of childhood? And how might this enrich our psychoanalytic understanding?
Join us online (via Zoom) on the last Tuesday of the month between January and March as we look at:
Katie Morag and Tiresome Ted on Tuesday 28 January
Where the Wild Things Are on Tuesday 25 February
Comet in Moominland on Tuesday 25 March
