Guest Speaker:

This year, we will welcome Isolda Alvarez, who attended our linking seminar last year.

The idea for this year's Linking Seminar came to me as an image and two signifiers. The image was a Mobius strip, with the word clinic written on one side of the strip and the word school written on the other side.

The seminar will focus on the link between our work in the clinic, our work within the school, and the Freudian field more broadly.

More specifically, we will focus on formulating and constructing a case as a point where our work in the clinic and the school come together.


Location:

We are currently looking at three venues for the event.

  • One is the same venue we used last year in Downers Grove
  • Another is in Oak Brook
  • And a third is in Evanston

(It would be helpful if people used the button below to email me directly and let me know if they preferred a suburban location like Downers Grove or Oak Brook or the more urban location of Evanston.)


Registration & Cost:

Early (discounted) registration will be open as soon as we determine the venue for the event. We can't say how much this will cost; however, you can expect it to be in the range of $80-$100.

For whatever it is worth, we don't make any money from this event. Registration fees cover the cost of bringing our guest lectures to Chicago and the venue and providing lunch to participants.


To Prepare / Syllabus:

To prepare for the seminar, become familiar with the orienting texts below.

We will host digital events (i.e., Zoom meetings) where some of these texts will be discussed before the Linking Seminar. In future emails, more info on when those will be held will come out.
