Aims of the Conference
The conference will focus on an important area of Jungian scholarship, the social sciences. The conference will explore points of communality and difference between Jungian studies and the social sciences. The Conference Committee is particularly interested in receiving papers that engage critically with Jungian or post-Jungian ideas that are typically investigated by the social sciences and its cognate disciplines. While Jungian insights can shed new and different light on topics of social and societal relevance the Jungian tradition can also benefit from the points of view offered by the social sciences and related practices.
Registration and other details will be announced here and also on the IAJS website
