Adrienne Harris, PhD “Contemporary Studies of Gender and Sexuality: Beyond the Binary” Registration strongly recommended (see below)
February 24, 2018 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Scientific Presentation
Psychoanalytic theory of gender and sexual development has been an area of significant expansion and revision since Freud’s theories on masculinity and femininity as well as his Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality.
With generous support from the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA) via the Helen Meyers National Women’s Psychoanalytic Scholar Program, Adrienne Harris, PhD will present a seminar titled “Contemporary Studies of Gender and Sexuality: Beyond the Binary.” Building from her seminal work Gender as Soft Assembly, Dr. Harris will examine current models of gender development, exploring gender in interaction with sexuality, class, and culture. This ‘intersectional’ model stresses the complex and emergent interaction between intrapsychic, interpersonal, and social forces as identify and subjectivity unfold.
Learning Objectives:
• Attendees will be able to understand different models of emergent sexuality, the work of Jean LaPlanche on enigmatic messages, as well as the application of nonlinear dynamic system theory to model gendered subjectivity as it unfolds.
• Participants will be able to better distinguish one-person from two-person psychological models of gender and sexuality.
• Attendees will acquire an increased appreciation of the function, role, and limitations of binaries within developmental psychological theory.
Admission is Free.
