Dr. Fanny Brewster
In this afternoon/evening salon, Jungian Analyst and author, Dr. Fanny Brewster, will introduce the idea of the “Racial Complex”, as outlined in her book by the same name, The Racial Complex: A Jungian Perspective on Culture and Race, published this year by Routledge.
In this salon, Dr. Brewster will share some of her original work on The Racial Complex, as related to the topic of complexes — an idea core to Jung's psychology, which he originally named "Complex Psychology." Dr. Brewster will explore with us her thoughts on some of what is unfolding in America today as related to racial history, and racial justice.
This Salon will have ample time for Q&A with Dr. Brewster, and space for dialogue and exploration of modern events.
