- Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Exploration of Culture, Race, and Racism
Biography
I am a PhD student in Psychoanalytic Studies within the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex. My academic pursuits are primarily focused on psychoanalysis and critical theory, with a specific interest in the work of Frantz Fanon and its relation to psychoanalysis, particularly within the Lacanian framework. Additionally, my research extends into the Philosophy of Culture, Race, and Racism, where I am deeply engaged with the works of Jean-Paul Sartre and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. This interdisciplinary approach allows me to explore the complex intersections of psychoanalytic theory, cultural philosophy, and issues of race and racism.
